Delegation meets Home Minister Balabachchan Days after meeting CM Kamal Nath, now IPS Officers Association met Home Minister Balabachchan and pressed for the demand to introduce Police Commissioner system in big cities like Bhopal and Indore on Saturday. Along with this, other issues regarding department and policing were discussed.
IPS Officers Association Chairman Vijay Yadav led the delegation which included Home Secretary Shahid Absar ADG Ravi Gupta, Commandant, 23rd battalion SAF Simala Prasad, DIG Bhopal Dr Ashish, AIG Manish Kapuria etc. Home Minister Balabachan heard the demands of IPS Officers Association members with patience and assured that Government will focus on solving the problems of police. IPS Officers Association also demanded DG salary scale to IPS officers of 1987 batch. Along with this, IPS officers also demanded risk allowance according to the percentage of basic salary.
Discussion was also centered on making policing better to strengthen the law and order situation. Notably, it is a long-pending demand of IPS Officers Association for introduction of Police Commissioner system which will provide extra powers to IPS officers dealing with law and order situation. On the contrary, IAS officers lobby is against the police commissioner system as if it is introduced then some powers enjoyed by Collector would become dilute.
