Highlights
Weeks after IPS officer Deven Bharti was appointed as the first special commissioner of police in Mumbai, the state government will now table a bill to make consequential amendments in the Maharashtra Police Act.
The changes will make it easier to incorporate the new job and hierarchy of the special commissioner within the Act. The bill is scheduled to be tabled in the Legislative Assembly this week. The bill proposes to alter A-1 of Section 7 of the Maharashtra Police Act 1951 to include a provision for a special commissioner in the police force following the position of commissioner.
“One post in the grade of additional director general of police has been made available as special commissioner of police on the establishment of Mumbai police commissioner,” the statement of the bill read.
The 1994-batch IPS officer is an additional director general rank officer.Related Stories
