Grewal raise issue of cops' promotions Chandigarh police.

Chandigarh: 13 June 2016 -
BJP Kisan Morcha took up the matter of promotion of Chandigarh police inspectors with MHA and sent a letter to Union minister of home affairs Rajnath Singh and Union minister of state for home affairs Kiren Rijiju on Monday. National secretary of BJP Kisan Morcha Sukhminderpal Singh Grewal has sought immediate intervention of both central ministers urging them to save Chandigarh police inspectors, who are not being given their rights of promotion, and being ignored by Chandigarh administration.
The detailed letter highlighted more than a dozen points narrating eligibility of Chandigarh police inspectors and reportedly biased attitude of Chandigarh administration towards them. At present, four inspectors including Dilsher Singh Chandel, Udaypal Singh, Jaswinder Singh and Amrao Singh are awaiting their promotion to the rank of DSP.
On June 2, Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) had refused to vacate the stay orders against its earlier order stopping local administration to fill vacant posts of DSPs with officers of other cadres on Thursday. The CAT also instructed local administration to dispose of representation of four police inspectors, who are struggling to get their rights of promotion on the rank of DSP, within next three months.
In his letter to MHA, Grewal stated that about six posts of DSPs are vacant with Chandigarh police and more than 10 police inspectors of Chandigarh police are eligible for getting the promotion. However, instead of promoting these eligible inspectors, senior police officers, who are included AGMUT and Punjab cadre IPS officers, are preferring to bring DSPs from other states including Punjab, Haryana and DANIPS cadre from Delhi.
The preference of DSPs from other states is has already causing resentment among eligible police inspectors of Chandigarh police, who decided to challenge this process in CAT. Sources in police headquarters said, "A recently-transferred IPS officer had submitted a draft plan of hiring DSPs on deputation from other states with Chandigarh administration. In the plan, the officer recommended 11 DSPs from DANIPS in Delhi, three from Punjab, two from Haryana and made recommendation of promoting seven inspectors of Chandigarh police on the rank of DSPs." On January 4, four inspectors were promoted to the post of DSPs by Chandigarh administration. The inspectors who have been promoted to the rank of DSP include Ram Gopal, Devinder Sharma, SPS Sondi and Kewal Krishan.
