DGP writes to Home Department for Extra Cadre review for Police officers

The Director General of Police, Madhya Pradesh, Sudhir Kumar Saxena has in a letter to the state Home Department requested for extra cadre review for the Police officers of state Police Service. This would help them to get elevation in IPS cadre speedily. Many posts of IPS officers are vacant in Madhya Pradesh. And if extra cadre review is conducted, these posts could be filled with the SPS officers after promotion. A few years ago, state Police officers were allotted IP S cadre in just 10 years but now most of the officers are not getting even a single promotion in their entire career. Ironically, 1996 and 2023 batch officers, both are still DSPs. The President of Madhya Pradesh Police Service Association Jitendra Singh Dangas told that they have apprised the DGP of their grievances. In the state, there are 319 posts of IPS cadre, out of which 222 are filled through direct recruitment by the Central government and the rest 97 posts are to be filled through promoting SPS officers. But still state Police officers have unending and frustrating wait.
