Haryana govt defers screening committee meeting to promote IPS officers
The Haryana government is now showing the signs of buckling under pressure, created by a senior IPS officer’s allegation of modal code violation against it, by deferring the meeting of the screening committee to promote six IPS officers scheduled for today (September 12). A communication from the state home department has announced the postponement of this meeting on the advice of the Haryana Chief Electoral Officer.
The government was planning to promote six IPS officers in the rank of DGPs and ADGPs by creating temporary posts at a time when modal code of conduct is in force in the state. Haryana is going to the assembly polls on October 5.
A concerned IPS officer, Y Puran Kumar (IPS:2001:HY), currently posted as an Inspector General (Telecommunication), raised his finger and complained to the Election Commission of India (ECI) against the government move to promote six IPS officers alleging it is violation of modal code. In his complaint to the ECI, Kumar has alleged that the move was designed to give “undue benefits” to select officers.
But the government was adamant on promoting the IPS officers and had called a meeting of the screening committee today to select the officers for promotions. But the good sense seems to have dawned on it as it has finally deferred its plan, at least for now.
