Unwilling to leave Jammu, SHO prefers PCR to PS posting | | | Early Times Report JAMMU, Aug 19: Unwilling to leave Jammu, an influential SHO has preferred his posting at PCR here to a police station in Kathua district. At the time of his transfer to Kathua district, he headed a police station in Jammu as its SHO. In Kathua, he was again posted as SHO of a police station. After serving there for a few months, he has managed his transfer back to Jammu PCR, according to police sources. "Though PCR posting is not considered good as compared to the posting as SHO of a police station, he preferred it because he wanted to come back to Jammu," sources said. "He enjoys the blessings of a senior police officer who manages all his postings. This officer had earlier got him posted as SHO of an important police station in Jammu, but he was shifted after a KPS officer was posted there. However, after the KPS officer completed his probation, the senior officer again got him posted there as SHO," sources said. Sources said the senior officer transferred him from Kathua to PCR here because Jammu district 'does not fall under his operational command'. "The Inspector is happy with his posting at the PCR because he hails from a district which adjoins Jammu. He does not want to go outside Jammu," the sources added. "He is so thick with the senior officer that he has managed his four transfers in a few months. If one officer transfers him to other district, the senior officer brings him back, using his powers," sources said. |
