Thane, February 21 The Mira-Bhayander Vasai-Virar (MBVV) police have launched a recruitment drive to hire 921 personnel, including 81 drivers, a senior official said on Saturday.
A total of 57,990 applications were received for the vacant positions, Additional Police Commissioner Datta Shinde said.
"These include 39,202 applications for police constable positions and 18,788 for driver roles. Notably, the applicant pool includes 12,712 women and five transgender individuals. Physical measurements and field tests began on February 20 at Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Maidan in Bhayander West," he added.

"A specialized drug testing team is monitoring the area to prevent the use of stimulants or performance-enhancing drugs. Action will be taken against any candidate found engaging in misconduct," Shinde warned.
