Great to see such a large number of appointments, especially with over 3,000 women recruits. This is a positive step for women's empowerment and will bring a more balanced perspective to policing. Well done!

While this is a good initiative, I hope the focus is not just on numbers. Proper training, modern equipment, and a citizen-friendly attitude are crucial for these new Lokrakshaks to be truly effective. The real test begins after the ceremony.

As someone living in Gujarat, I feel more reassured knowing there will be a stronger police presence. Hopefully, this leads to faster response times and better community policing. Congratulations to all the new recruits and their families!

Bahut badhiya! This is a massive boost for youth employment. The fact that another 13,000+ vacancies are already advertised shows a clear vision. More states should follow this model of large-scale, transparent government recruitment.

A grand ceremony is nice, but I hope the government invests equally in the ongoing welfare and mental health of these personnel. Policing is a tough job. They need continuous support, not just a one-day event.
