Rajasthan govt reviews police personnel’s demands after Holi boycott

Jaipur: Issues related to promotion, salary, and leave were discussed in a meeting of the Home Department on Monday, days after several Rajasthan police personnel in various districts refrained from celebrating Police Holi on March 15.

Additional Chief Secretary (ACS) (Home) Anand Kumar said Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma took serious note of the matter and directed officials to take appropriate action regarding the grievances of police personnel.

He said the chief minister instructed officials to find a permanent solution to the long-pending issues.

Chief Secretary Sudhansh Pant, ACS Home, ACS Finance, Director General of Police (DGP), and other senior officers attended the meeting.

Kumar said some service-related demands of policemen have been pending for the last five to six years, including promotion, salary revisions, and leave policies.

He said these matters will be examined at the department level in the near future.
