Promotion to IPS cadre: MP Officers write to GoI for one-time exemption

The senior Police officers have sent a memorandum to the Ministry of Home (MoH) and Ministry of Personnel and Training )MoPT) to look into their long-pending grievances sympathetically. The President of Madhya Pradesh Police Service Association Jitendra Singh Dangas informed that the sanctioned strength of DSPs in Madhya Pradesh is 1296 but even after 26 years of service, SPS are retiring without a single promotion. According to the rule, only till 56 years of age, an officer is considered for the IPS cadre promotion. The association has requested the centre for one-time exemption so that the vacant posts could be filled with the officers of state Police Service.
