Chandigarh, June 1
The National Commission for Scheduled Castes has issued a notice to the government over non-adherence of reservation policy while promoting police officers from the PPS to IPS.
This comes close on the heels of certain Congress Dalit leaders pointing out underrepresentation of Dalits during IAS and IPS officers’ postings. Commission chairman Vijay Sampla had on April 7 said 24 Punjab Police Service (PPS) officers were promoted to the Indian Police Service (IPS) cadre but none was from the Scheduled Caste.
Sushil Kumar, a PPS officer posted as the Commandant, 1st IRB, had also informed the commission about non-adherence of the reservation policy. The commission has sought a reply within 15 days listing facts and information on the action taken. — TNS
