Haryana Police have initiated the proposal for promotion of 2 IPS officer from from the rank of deputy inspector general (DIG) to inspector general (IGP).
The home department had already cleared the file for the promotion of the 2005 batch officers Maneesh Chaudhary and Kulvinder Singh for further examination by the state government.
As per the guidelines issued by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in 1999, an officer who has 18 years of service is eligible to be placed in the zone of consideration for promotion to the grade of IGP. The home department officials have found that both the officers are eligible for consideration for promotion as IGs keeping in view the MHA’s guidelines, The Indian Express has learnt.
The state has an authorised strength of 144 IPS officers, including 79 senior duty posts (cadre posts).
There are 16 cadre posts in the rank of IGP, apart from 14 ex-cadre posts. According to official sources, 12 IPS officers are currently posted in the position of IGP against 16 cadre posts.
“Three cadre posts of IGP rank have been occupied by those IGP rank officers who have been promoted to the rank of ADGP against posts of IGP rank. It means these IPS officers have been promoted to the rank of ADGP but still getting the salary of IGP. Kulvinder Singh’s promotion has been proposed against the remaining one cadre post of IGP rank,” said an official.
