‘Training of cops for people's force'
Lucknow: Holding a comprehensive conferencing session to review the training of 60,244 newly recruited police constables, DGP Rajeev Krishna on Friday said that after the completion of training, every police station in the state will benefit from the presence of 25 additional well-trained constables which will be a "gamechanger" for policing efficiency. Stressing on the significance of the initiative as a transformative milestone for the UP Police, he said the training initiative was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build a professional and people-centric police force and urged officers to treat it as a generational responsibility. He said that recruits should be categorised based on their existing skillsets. "These details should be compiled using the Karmayogi portal to create a comprehensive skills database that can aid future resource planning," he said. The DGP also issued specific directives related to social media conduct. "All recruits must be thoroughly briefed on the official police social media policy. Both soft and hard copies of the policy, along with awareness video clips, should be distributed and shown at all training centres. In compliance with Supreme Court directives, all women's training centres must establish Vishakha Committees to handle internal complaints related to harassment," he said.

"Goodbye...": Meta Alert Leads UP Police To Rescue Woman After Distress Post
Raebareli: A 21-year-old woman, distressed by her family's pressure to marry, posted a concerning message on Instagram that hinted at a possible suicide. Fortunately, her post alerted Meta, which led to a swift response from the police, officials said on Wednesday. The woman, a final-year undergraduate student from Devanandpur Nai Basti, posted a photo of capsules on Instagram along with a message that read: "Goodbye, sorry mamma papa," at 7.42 pm on June 16. The post triggered an immediate alert from Meta to Uttar Pradesh Police's Social Media Centre in Lucknow. The alert was escalated to the state Director General of Police (DGP), Rajeev Krishna, who instructed officers to trace the woman's location using the phone number associated with her account. Within eight minutes of receiving the alert, a police team from the Mill Area Police Station reached the woman's house and found her safe but emotionally disturbed. She was given immediate counselling and medical attention, and the police also spoke to her family. "The young woman wanted to focus on her education, but her parents were pressuring her to get married. Distressed over this, she made the post. Fortunately, we received the alert in time and were able to intervene. Both she and her family have now agreed to resolve the matter peacefully," Mill Area SHO Rajeev Singh said. In a similar incident in the Deoria district recently, a 20-year-old student was saved after he posted a distressing suicide note and a picture on Instagram. On June 12, the man from the Bhalauni area shared a message in Hindi saying, "Forgive me, brothers, today I'm going to die," along with a photo showing a noose around his neck. The post triggered an alert from Meta at 3.44 pm to the UP Police Social Media Centre in Lucknow. The alert was relayed to the Deoria district police with the individual's location details. A police sub-inspector from Bhalauni reached the student's home within 12 minutes, found him attempting to hang himself, and managed to rescue him in the nick of time. The student later explained that he was under stress due to a bank loan taken by his parents that they were unable to repay. A recent notice and a heated exchange over the matter left him feeling deeply guilty, pushing him toward the drastic step. After counselling, the student assured the police he would not repeat such an act, officials said. Between January 1, 2023, and June 16, 2025, the collaboration between Meta and the UP Police helped save 1,024 lives throughout the state by responding to social media alerts, the police said.
