NAGPUR: City police chief Amitesh Kumar has brought some cheer in the force by ensuring 2,250 cops, including 1,935 being promoted, under the benefits of seventh pay commission which was implemented in March last year.
Kumar on Friday promoted 392 head constables who had completed 30 years of services. Another 623 Naik police constables, having completed 20 years of service, were also promoted. Around 1,000 constables were promoted after having completed minimum 10 years of services.
CP has also sanctioned the third benefit of the pay commission to 395 assistant sub-inspectors who had completed 30 years of their service in the department.
The latest decision of the tough top cop comes shortly after he had suspended 15 personnel for remaining absent from their duties. His decision to ban the mobile phone use by the cops on duties at ‘visible points’ had generated mixed reactions in the personnel.
