Chandigarh March 20: Director General of Police, Haryana, Manoj Yadava today chaired a State-level welfare meeting at Madhuban in which senior police officers across the state participated. Various issued related to the welfare of cops were discussed.
The meeting was attended by DGP State Crime Branch Mohammad Akil, Managing Director of HPHC, RC Mishra, ADGP Modernization and Welfare, Alok Kumar Roy, ADGP Administration, AS Chawla, Director Haryana Narcotics Control Bureau, ADGP, Shrikant Jadhav, Rohtak Range ADGP, Sandeep Khirwar and other senior officers. A number of suggestions and opinions pertaining to the welfare of police were received.
Addressing the participants, Yadava said that it is a matter of great satisfaction that the State Government is equally concerned and sympathetic to all the genuine requirements put forth by Police which are considered on a priority basis. The welfare of officers and jawans is among our top priority and all genuine issues are being taken up with the government. Women are being posted for one year in their home as well as the districts that to which their in-laws belong. Similarly, police officers are also being posted at the place of their choice, including their home districts, six months before their superannuation.
Describing promotion as an important opportunity throughout the career, he said that PHQ had ensured timely promotion of Sub-Inspectors to the post of Inspectors. Now an advance list is prepared for promotion and promotion takes place as soon as the post becomes vacant. He instructed the Range Heads to follow this good practice of PHQ also in the promotions to be done at the Range level, which encourages the welfare of cops.
Referring to the Chief Minister’s announcement concerning promotion in the rank of Honorary Inspector one month before retirement, he said that formalities are almost completed in this direction and it would be implemented in the coming few months. Regarding the disparity in promotion from constable to the post of head constable, he said that the proposal regarding this is expected to be approved by the State Government soon. As soon as approval is received, all the constables who have imparted training in the lower school so far can be promoted as head constables.
The DGP also emphasized the need to increase health awareness among policemen. He expressed regret that every year about 200 personnel of Haryana Police lose their lives. Upon study, it was found that most of the deaths occurred, either due to diseases owing to the wrong lifestyle or in road accidents. We have to reduce it by at least 50 percent, he added. For this, he accorded permission to prepare gymnasium, sports facility in every district headquarters and to prepare and implement an action plan for high-level annual health check-up. He said that an App would be made to monitor health. Through this App, employees, as well as officers, would be able to view the health records of the employees under them on mobile. With this, preventive measures would be possible before a serious health problem arises, he added.
Referring to the housing and other infrastructure facilities, he said that the state government is also aware of this. He said that PHQ would sympathetically consider the proposals of District Superintendents of Police and Range Heads for the welfare of policemen in this direction. The matter would also be taken up before the State Government, if required.
He said that the number of women in Haryana Police is more than 8 percent. Police headquarters is quite concerned about having a women-friendly workplace. He directed that separate rooms and toilets be ensured for women in all police stations, units, and police posts. For this, he also gave in-principle financial and administrative approval. He directed the Superintendents of Police to purchase mobile toilets in their districts and make them available exclusively to women staff at the time of any law and order duty.
On this occasion, Manoj Yadava also provided a check of Rs. 30 lakh to the wife of late HC Sushil Kumar. The financial assistance is given by HDFC Bank under an agreement with the Haryana Police. Expressing deep condolences over the demise of Sh. Sushil Kumar, he assured all possible help to the family.
