Narayanpur Police has opened a district-specific intake for 383 Fighter Constables under Chhattisgarh Police's Special Executive Force, the Bastar Fighters. The recruitment notice is dated 31 October 2026, while prescribed offline forms will be accepted from 2 November until 12 December 2026 at 5:00 PM. Eligibility is tied to Narayanpur itself: applicants must satisfy the notified local-resident condition for the district before considering the remaining requirements. Of the 383 vacancies, 42 are unreserved, 53 are for OBC candidates, 20 are for SC candidates and 268 are for ST candidates. Class 10 is the standard educational requirement, although the 2026 governing rules permit a Class 5 route for specified Scheduled Tribe and other eligible affected-family categories when the required proof is available. The normal age band is 18 to 28 years on 1 January 2026, subject to the notified relaxations. Recruitment proceeds through document checking, physical measurement, a scored physical-efficiency stage, a written paper, interview and eligible bonus marks. With a large district vacancy count and more than a month to submit the form, suitable local candidates have time to prepare both documents and physical-test readiness. Applicants should use the prescribed form and ensure it reaches an authorised Narayanpur police office within the deadline.
