Early Times Report

Srinagar, Oct 9: Much to the disappointment of senior police officers of Kashmir Police Service (KPS), particularly the officers of 1999 batch are waiting for their promotion to next higher ranks of DIG since last several years due to non caderization of KPS officers after government failed to implement SRO 549 of 1984 for managing the services of directly recruited local officers in Jammu and Kashmir Police. As per the details available with "Early Times", the Government of J&K vide SRO 549 Dated 19-10-1984 promulgated J&K Police Gazettted service recruitment rules which provided that while all the senior duty posts in the cadre strength of IPS will be manned by IPS officers, while the State Police Service officers without their induction into IPS shall get elevated up to the rank of DGP on ex-cadre basis for which some number of posts were earmarked for promotion of State Police Service Officers, but to the disappointment of the J&K based local police officers, these rules were kept in abeyance vide SRO-166 dated April 22, 1985 without being implemented.
The irony of the local police officer is that despite the fact that Kashmir Administrative Service (KAS) and Kashmir Police Service (KPS) officers are recruited through a common exam conducted by Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission, but KAS has a cadre of its own while KPS officers are without any cadre and the issue has been neglected by successive previous governments.
The proposal of setting up of KPS cadre like that of already existing KAS cadre on the lines of State Police cadre in other states like Punjab Police Service (PPS), Odisha Police Service (OPS), Himachal Police Service (HPS) has already been discussed and the urgent need to have the proposal executed felt by PHQ. The KPS cadre proposal (career Planning of State Police Officer) has already been sent to Home department but is lying unattended as Service rules don't permit Poice Officers to form an association or union to push their genuine demands.
As per the points contained in KPS cadre (J&K police gazetted service); a direct recruit shall wear KPS badge instead of JKP on his Shoulders as is allowed in other states of the country like PPS, HPS, OPS etc., removal of anomaly of grades of KPS with KAS and J&K Accounts service,
A KPS officer who doesn't get inducted into IPS retires in PB-III, whereas a KAS officer who dosen't get inducted into IAS retires in PB-IV, reservation of some posts for KPS officers who don't get inducted into IPS and issue of time bound promotions as in case of IPS cadre.
The KPS Cadre proposal file which is lying in the home department since last one year needs to be pursued and KPS cadre be created to benefit more than 500 gazetted state police officers and their families and to boost the morale of direct police recruits of the state.
