April 23, 2016 17:13

Delhi Police constable has highlighted the poor working condition, lack of respect and very few promotion opportunities for the lower ranks in a letter addressed to the police commissioner.

Delhi Police has submitted a plea to the grievance cell on behalf of the constabulary.In the letter, a constable has written that he has been serving the force at the same rank for the past 25 years while most of his colleagues have been promoted to the rank of Sub Inspector.

The constable has requested Delhi Police Commissioner Alok Verma to regulate and fix the working hours. He has also complained about the exploitation of junior officials at the hands of seniors.

In the letter the constable claims that not many people want to join as constables because of corruption and working hours. He wants fixed working hours in a week. "We cannot work as a puppet in the hand of SHO. SHO manipulates, terrifies us in the name of working hour," he said in his letter.
