Early Times Report
Jammu, July 31: 2008 Kashmir Police Service (KPS) batch officers have alleged gross discrimination in terms of promotions to their counterpart Kashmir Administrative Officer (KAS) colleagues.
Earlier batches of KPS were also promoted within few years and to mention that the 1999 batch KPS officers were promoted in just 5 to 6 years of service while as 2004 batch officers were promoted within 10 years of service.
Speaking to Early Times, the aggrieved officers said that ever since their appointment in March 2008, they are working in the same rank, which has demoralising effect not only on the officers but also on their families.
A KPS officer , on condition of anonymity said that the 2008 KPS batch played an important role from time to time in maintaining law and order in Kashmir, he said in 2008, 2010, 2013 (at the time of Afzal Guru's execution) and in 2016 agitation; the 2008 KPS batch showed exemplary services, however, they are still without single promotion.
Another KPS officer on condition of anonymity said that government is playing with the talent and hard work of the police officers. He said Unlike KAS officers, the KPS officers have no union as unionism in Jammu Kashmir Police Department is banned.
"We don't have any grudges with the KAS officers but we want government to adopt same yardstick for both the cadres" said the dejected officer.
The 2008 batch consisting of just 35 officers are completely dejected by non-seriousness of the Government especially Home department as the PHQ has already send the proposal for the promotion of 2008 as the clear vacancies of SPs exist for their promotion.
"Home department in the garb of giving benefits to the officers promoted as DySPs after 2008 is unnecessarily delaying promotion of 2008 batch. Some vested interested groups are misleading the Home department to just delay the promotion of 2008 batch, which is taking heavy toll on the career on the officers" said the aggrieved officers.
He said that KPS batch 2008 officers have requested the Governor to intervene personally in the matter so that hurdles by many interested groups are not allowed to halt genuine promotion of 2008 batch KPS officers.
"The unnecessary delay in the promotions has demoralising effect on the officers .The batch alleged that in one or the other pretext their genuine promotion is being delayed by the interested parties" they said added that "We are not against promotion of promotees, let the home department promote them too-- But surprisingly they have not promoted a single officer from Dy. SP to SP since March 2015-- this is condition of our state system" said the aggrieved officers added that they are in so much tension that they seems no light to come out of this apathy of administration towards KPS officers. They urged upon Governer Satya Pal Malik and Principal Secretary Home Shaleen Kabra to personally intervene into the matter and get their issue resolved.
