Una cops can't carry over Rs 200

Shimla: In a bid to curb corruption, the police chief of Himachal Pradesh's Una district has issued a unique diktat barring police personnel manning checkpoints from keeping more than Rs 200 with them. Una superintendent of police Diwakar Sharma said the decision was taken after he received complaints alleging that police personnel at checkpoints demanded bribes from pilgrims entering the hill state.

The decision was taken after we received a slew of complaints alleging that policemen at checkpoints were seeking bribes, especially from pilgrims coming from neighbouring Punjab to pay their obeisance at the temples located in HP, said the SP.
