What FACTLY found

Uttar Pradesh’s ADG has recently issued a directive seeking screening of personnel who have completed 50 years of age. Similar orders have been issued concerning all the government departments back in 2017 & 2018. However the recent directive is strictly confined to police department and no such recent orders are issued regarding other departments
