Chandigarh, July 27 – In yet another welfare measure to boost the morale of police officers and jawans, Haryana Police has decided that now onwards Police officials’ upto the rank of Inspector may be posted at the place of their choice including in their home districts six months before attaining the age of superannuation. Earlier, there was provision of posting them in home ranges before six months of retirement.
Disclosing this here today, Director General of Police (DGP), Haryana, Mr Manoj Yadava said that the new facility has been extended with the objective to enable a person about to retire at a particular place of their choice after years of dedicated service. This decision will go a long way in providing more help and assistance to the police personnel in the time of need. However, Inspectors would not be posted as Station House Officer/Incharge Police Post.
The DGP informed that it had also been decided that female police officials’ upto the rank of Inspector may also be posted at the place of their choice including in their home district for one year during the course of their pregnancy. Maternity leave would not be counted for the said purpose. This benefit would be extended only for the first two children.
As the police faces multiple challenges on a day-to-day basis thus we reviewed the welfare schemes from time to time for our personnel and their families, he added.
