"Lack of planning and anticipation in department, is humiliating us, as despite being promoted to next rank, we are still holding same posts", said one of the officers awaiting adjustment. "The department has put our further posting hold on pretext of shortage of DIGs, contrary to fact that the department has sufficient numbers of DIGs who are on deputation, instead of calling them back we are being discriminated", the officer said. "A section of KPS officers that has surrendered before IPS has hatched the conspiracy to humiliate us", alleged one the officers and added that trio who are waiting their further adjustment are KPS, number 39, 40 and 41 in gradation list of IPS cadre. |
