Can't wake at 4 am, used to sleeping till 8: UP cop's bizarre resignation letter

India Today26-06-2025
Days after receiving his appointment letter from Union Home Minister Amit Shah, a newly recruited constable in Uttar Pradesh decided he had enough of police life and wanted to resign. The reason? He couldn't wake up at 4 am for training as he was accustomed to sleeping until 8 am.On the fifth day of his training, the constable, accompanied by his father, marched into the Superintendent of Police (SP) office in Deoria to put in his papers. At the office, he requested a meeting with SP Vikrant Veer.advertisementWhen asked about the reason, the constable candidly told the SP's public relations officer (PRO) Dr Mahendra Kumar, that he was not used to waking up early in the morning. The recruit said he had a habit of sleeping till 8 am, and the rigorous training throughout the day was proving to be too difficult for him.'HOLDS B.ED DEGREE, WANTS TO BECOME TEACHER'
His father said his son, who holds a B.Ed degree, wanted to become a teacher and is used to studying all day. He said the physical rigours of police training did not excite him much.However, following a counselling session by Dr Mahendra, the young recruit eventually had a change of heart.The PRO underlined that such teething problems in training sessions were natural and things would gradually become manageable.advertisementAfter a long discussion, the constable decided not to proceed with his resignation and left the office without meeting the SP.The Uttar Pradesh Police constable recruitment process was completed earlier this month. Training has begun across the state.On June 15, Union Home Minister Amit Shah distributed appointment letters to the newly selected constables in Lucknow in the presence of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.In Deoria, the new recruits are undergoing a Joint Training Course (JTC). After completing one month of training, they will be sent to other centres for a nine-month advanced training session, following which they will be given official postings.- EndsMust Watch

SP turned departments into ‘dens of loot', says Pathak

Lucknow: Deputy CM Brijesh Pathak on Saturday launched a blistering attack on chief , accusing him of treating public property like personal wealth and misleading the people of the state. "The people of are no longer naïve — they now know the difference between promises and actions," Pathak said. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Addressing mediapersons in Lucknow, Pathak criticised the alleged institutionalised corruption during the SP govt's 2012–2017 tenure. "From the JPNIC to the Gomti Riverfront and the mining department, everything was tainted by mismanagement, nepotism, and loot," he said. "This is why the people have shown the door to Akhilesh Yadav not once, but twice." Reacting to Akhilesh Yadav's recent remarks, Pathak said the Jayaprakash Narayan International Centre had become a hub of corruption under SP rule. "We have handed it over to the LDA through a Cabinet decision so it can serve the public — not any one leader's legacy." He also alleged that the Gomti Riverfront project, originally planned with a budget of a few hundred crores, was inflated to thousands of crores, turning it into a "showcase of organised plunder." On illegal mining, he said the department became a "den of loot" under SP rule, where ministerial posts were traded for loyalty to the leadership. Pathak further accused SP leaders of illegally occupying forest lands and felling trees under the guise of political influence. "Such individuals are now behind bars. No one dares to look at forest land today," he asserted. Highlighting the transformation in health services, the Deputy CM said, "Today, even the remotest CHCs in UP stock anti-rabies and anti-venom injections. All essential medicines are freely available — not just printed on posters." Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Dismissing Akhilesh Yadav's allegations against the election commission as "irresponsible," Pathak said, "The clection commission is one of the strongest defenders of Indian democracy and constitutional integrity." He concluded by highlighting UP's achievements under , including No. 1 rankings in sugarcane, wheat, milk, and sugar production. "Under Yogi and Modi's leadership, UP and India are scaling new heights of progress," he said.

We negotiate keeping national interest in mind, not under deadlines: Piyush Goyal

New Delhi [India], July 6 (ANI): Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has said that India does not negotiate under deadlines and does so from a position of strength. Goyal said the government holds discussions keeping national interests in mind and attacked the Congress, saying this is 'not weak India under UPA which would make agreements which were not in the national interest'. His remarks came hours after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi took a dig at the Modi government over Goyal's earlier remarks in which he had said that India does not enter trade deals based on deadline or time pressure. 'Piyush Goyal can beat his chest all he wants, mark my words, Modi will meekly bow to the Trump tariff deadline,' Rahul Gandhi said in a post on X, attaching a news report about the Union Minister's remarks. 'India does not negotiate under deadlines. We negotiate keeping national interests in mind, and national interest is paramount in all our work across the world. We have entered into free trade agreements after the Modi government came in with Mauritius, with the United Arab Emirates, with Australia, with the four-nation EFTA grouping - Switzerland, Norway, Liechtenstein, and Iceland,' Goyal told reporters. 'Now with UK last month. And we continue to work with other developed nations like the EU bloc of 27 European countries, with the United States, with Oman, with Peru, with Chile. Today, India negotiates from a position of strength. We are self-confident. We can compete with anybody in the world. This is not a weak India under Congress and UPA which would negotiate and make agreements which were not in national interest,' he added. Goyal also visited Aerospace Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Devanahalli in Karnataka and expressed confidence that India will become a preferred supplier for defence and aerospace given the great relationships it is creating with many other developed countries and said a lot of design and innovation is happening through global capability centres in the country. The Minister also expressed confidence that apart from design and innovation, more and more patens will be filed in India. 'I have absolutely no doubt that in the years to come, particularly given the great relationships that India is creating with many other developed countries, India will become a preferred supplier for defence and aerospace. Already, a lot of design and innovation is happening through global capability centres in India. Now, we will not only design and innovate in India, we will patent in India, produce in India and hopefully become globally relevant partner in supply chains. So, I am truly very optimistic about the potential of this sector,' he said. Asked about scope of collaboration between Indian startups and global aerospace companies, the minister said that SEZ doesn't necessarily have any role in that but there is scope for a bridge or a connection between startups in India and internationally in the space of defence and aerospace. 'I will ask Startup India to see how we can use the services of all these wonderful companies and their connections to see if we can connect the two,' he said. Asked about India's journey towards global aerospace hub, he said this defence and aerospace zone will be the beginning of a path-breaking journey. 'Starting from HAL and now with all these new units coming up, all the other Plants that I see around here, I am quite sure that this defence and aerospace zone will just be the beginning of a path-breaking journey in this field. I have absolutely no doubt that in the years to come, particularly given the great relationships that India is creating with many other developed countries, India will become a preferred supplier for defence and aerospace. Already a lot of design and innovation is happening through global capability centres in India,' he said. (ANI)

Berhampur: Union govt through the ministry of external affairs (MEA) has started work to gather details about a 28-year-old man from Ganjam district, who is suspected to be one of the three Indians abducted by a terrorist group in Kayes, Mali, on July 1. The Ganjam administration is in touch with the family. P. Venkatraman of Samarajhol under Hinjili police limits is an employee of Diamond Cement Factory. His family after losing contact with him on July 1 fears that he might have been kidnapped from his workplace and has appealed to the govt for his safe return. "The government has taken up the matter and the administration is in touch with the MEA. There is no clarity on the status of the Ganjam youth," said collector (Ganjam) Dibya Jyoti Parida. "Since the incident took place in Mali, we cannot register a case here, even though the family lodged a complaint. We are in touch with the MEA and his family," said SP (Ganjam) Subhendu Patra. The anxiety of Venkatraman's family is growing with each passing day. "Since June 30, I have had no contact with him. His phone is switched off. I am very worried about him," said P.
