Submit report on jobs to ‘outsiders’ in police, DGP told

Chandigarh, November 3

Taking a note of allegation regarding the recruitment of non-Punjabis in the state police by ignoring the rules, Deputy CM Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa has sought a detailed report from the Director General of Police (DGP).

The Deputy Chief Minister said in a statement he had asked DGP Iqbalpreet Singh Sahota to furnish all facts pertaining to it within seven days so that further action can be taken on it. “This is a serious issue which needs immediate action for which this detailed report is necessary,” Randhawa said.

Activist Lakha Sidhana had on Tuesday alleged irregularities in police recruitment. Demanding an inquiry and cancellation of the recruitment, Sidhana said it was shocking that many non-Punjabis were recruited directly with the CM’s security. — TNS
