Nepal Police is preparing to open Myadi Police (Temporary Cops) recruitment for the mid-term elections announced after the dissolution of the House of Representatives. With the government setting the date for the next election on 2078 Baisakh 17 and 27, the Nepal Police is preparing to open the recruitment process for the Myadi Prahari force without increasing the number to around one lakh. For that, the police have prepared a preliminary outline of the security plan with the budget demand.
According to the Police Headquarters, a technical plan has been drawn up for the security of the polling station and the polling station. The Police Headquarters is working with the Ministry of Finance and the Election Commission in this regard.
According to the blueprint, preparations have been made to call for temporary (Myadi) police recruitment so that the number does not increase to one lakh for the upcoming election. Earlier, in the House of Representatives and State Assembly elections held in 2074 BS, Nepal Police had recruited 98,268 temporary police personnel.
Central Spokesperson of the Nepal Police, Basanta Kunwar, informed that preparations are being made to recruit around one lakh temporary police personnel. According to him, recruitment will be called for the second or third week of February.
In the last election, the police had given priority to experienced people including ex-army, ex-police, and security guards. Similarly, a person between the ages of 18 and 54 who is literate, physically fit, has no party affiliation, and has not been charged with any criminal offense was considered eligible to become a temporary police officer in the previous election.
The Myadi Police would be provided the same salary and ration allowance as the police personnel. In the last election, the monthly salary of a temporary police officer was fixed at Rs 17,230. Similarly, Myadi Prahari personnel were provided with uniforms in addition to their salaries and uniforms. When the police call for temporary recruitment, they have fixed their tenure.
A few days ago, the Police Headquarters had formed a 37-member Central Election Preparation and Coordination Committee headed by Additional Inspector General of Police (AIG) Bishwaraj Pokharel. The committee is headed by AIG Pokhrel and has 37 members including Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) Divesh Lohani and Sunil Kumar Shrestha.
