Nearly two months after the Madhya Pradesh government signalled to root out the Urdu and Persian words being used by the state police department to simplify the language, the process has started.

Sources in state Home Department said the process has started after the department recently issued an order to replace the words from other language which are not in use with its Hindi version in the police proceedings.

Madhya Police issued a letter earlier on Tuesday asking senior police officers from districts to submit suggestions within a week about replacing non-Hindi words in the official lexicon.
