After a prolonged anticipation, the path has finally been paved for 26 officers belonging to the 1993-1994 batch of the Uttar Pradesh Provincial Police Service (PPS) to ascend to the esteemed ranks of the Indian Police Service (IPS). The crucial juncture arrived as their names received the official seal of approval during the convening of the Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) on a Monday at Lok Bhavan in Lucknow. This significant event saw the presence of notable attendees including Chief Secretary Durga Shankar Mishra, Acting Director General of Police Vijay Kumar, and representatives from the Union Home Ministry.
While the DPC session was slated for deliberating over a total of 28 vacancies, circumstances arising from the inadvertent closure of two officers’ envelopes led to the discussion being confined to 26 positions. This composition encompassed 16 officers from the 1993 batch and 10 officers from the 1994 batch.
The sealed envelope practice is employed for officers who are currently under investigation for any departmental inquiry or have had a charge sheet filed against them in any case. When such circumstances are in play, the officer’s envelope is sealed, precluding their name from being included in the promotion discussion.
The culmination of their service histories was meticulously evaluated during the DPC proceedings, culminating in the imprinting of the official seal on their respective files. The next step entails forwarding these files to the Union Home Ministry for its endorsement.
Upon securing the Ministry’s approval, the files will embark on the subsequent leg of their journey, finding their way to the State Home Department. The pivotal document will then be graced with the signature of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, propelling it towards the office of the Director General of Police.
This intricate process, from DPC evaluation to final authorization, is projected to transpire over the course of roughly one month.
