Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has approved increasing sanctioned women constable posts in district police from 526 to 2,000, adding 1,474 posts adjusted from other cadres.
Current Summary
Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Friday approved a proposal to raise district police women constable posts from 526 to 2,000. The additional 1,474 posts will be adjusted from sanctioned posts under other cadres and branches, so the total number of sanctioned posts will not increase and there will be no additional financial burden. The Department of Personnel under the Chief Minister gave its consent on condition that a separate proposal be submitted for restructuring higher-level posts, to accommodate 1,210 currently serving 'supernumerary' (excess) female constables and to ensure future promotion opportunities for them. Officials said the decision paves the way for more women constable posts across districts.
