From now onwards, Police officials’ in Haryana 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 retirement.
Haryana Director General of Police (DGP), Manoj Yadav said the welfare measure has been taken to further boost the morale of police officers and jawans in the State. 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, he said.
Giving details, 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, he said.
As police face multiple challenges on a day-to-day basis thus we have reviewed the welfare schemes from time to time for the personnel and their families, he added.
