Over 20,000 constables transferred in UP

Stung by the rising incidents of crime, Uttar Pradesh government on Tuesday carried out a massive reshuffle at the lower rung of the state police by transferring over 20,000 constables. 20,324 constables of the civil police were on Tuesday transferred.

These transfers have been carried out through a transparent method as per the new policy of the state government, in which the constables and head constables would now be able to get postings around their home districts, principal secretary home, R M Srivastava and DGP, A C Sharma said in a joint press conference.

Earlier, constables and head constables were not posted in and around their home districts which was leading to some problems, they said.

The officials hoped that this step would have a positive impact on policing and further improve law and order of the state.

The new government had sought options from the constables through a web enabled nominal roll system software. Almost 85 per cent constables have been posted in their first place of choice in a totally transparent manner, the officials said.
