IN A major decision, the State Home Department decided to cancel the condition of 15 years of service required for transfer of State Reserve Police Force (SRPF) jawans in the District Police units. The Home Department issued a Government Resolution after Home Minister Dilip Walse Patil conducted a meeting. State Environment and Tourism Minister Aditya Thackeray, ACS Home Manu Kumar Shrivastava, Director General of Police Sanjay Pandey and ADG Archana Tyagi were present in the meeting. Earlier, the condition for transfer of SRPF personnel was 15 years of service. It has been decided to do it for 12 years now.
 
Also, after the transfer in the district police force, it has been decided to decrease the duty period in the district police headquarters from five years to two years. According to the GR, the list of transfer requests will be kept at the office of Additional Director General (ADG) SRPF. The list will be shared with the State Police during a police recruitment drive and transfer orders will be issued after scrutiny. The transfers will be carried out for 10 per cent posts in the concerned SRPF units and District Police Units.
 
The SRPF personnel will be posted in the armed police criteria in the District units after their transfer for the first two years, the GR stated. The SRPF personnel are operating in anti-naxal operations and also called for bandobast duties for lockdown, elections and riot control. The SRPF personnel are known for maintaining law and order along. The inter-district transfer rules for working employees previously had a ten-year term limit. However, during the tenure of the previous government, the tenure was increased to fifteen years. Therefore, there was a constant demand for the decision.
