Haryana Director General of Police Manoj Yadava on Sunday said that parameters have been fixed to conduct Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) meeting once in a year in which names of all eligible Sub-Inspectors (SIs), who fulfill criteria in the entire year, would be considered for promotion.

After recommendation, their promotion order would be issued in the month in which they become eligible, the DGP said.

He said that earlier, the DPC could not meet every year regularly due to law and order exigencies or election in the state which deprives eligible police officers of timely promotion and they retire without getting the benefit of promotion. Now, we have decided to hold one DPC meeting of all eligible Sub-Inspectors in time to ensure them career benefit, he said.

 The DGP said that through the new system, we had promoted 184 Sub-Inspectors posted in different wings of the police to the post of Inspectors in 2020.

 These include 116 male officers, 19 females, 20 of telecom wing, 19 of IRB, 4 of SCRB and 6 posted in Establishment, he added.

In addition, we are also expediting the process of carrying out promotions of all categories of posts in all units at all levels, he said.

In an effort to further improve police-public ratio, the DGP said that Haryana Police is all set to add more than 10 percent staff to its total strength in 2021. The process to recruit 7818 police personnel has already begun which included 5500 male constables, 1100 female constables, 698 female constables for HAP Durga-1 and 520 male commandos. Besides, representation of women in the police force will also add up to a considerable strength. Out of the total, 7298 posts have already been advertised while requisition for 520 posts was sent to the recruitment agency, he added.
