Don't post grievance on social media, U'khand policemen warned

After a BSF jawan's video complaining about quality of food went viral, Uttarakhand Police on Friday banned its personnel from raising any service related grievance on social media.

It warned of punitive measures if any content posted by them "tarnishes" the image of the force or policies of state and central governments.

DGP M A Ganpati issued a circular to senior police officials of the state asking them to ensure that social media tools including Facebook, Whatsapp, Twitter and YouTube are used by their subordinate employees only for professional purposes.

Complaints related to services can be presented before the SP or Commandants of Battalions, range IGs and DIGs concerned every Monday or before the DGP every Friday.
