Pay hike: Now, cops want parity with the IAS


The report of the Sixth Pay Commission has created problems for many government wings, especially the Indian Police Service (IPS).

The IPS wing is extremely unhappy with the report of the commission for not giving them parity with the IAS personnel as far as the pay structure is concerned.

And in order to find a solution to their grievances, the IPS association met in Delhi on Thursday to discuss the recommendations of the Pay Commission.

Angry police officers have decided to take on the government. The salary hike in the pay commission is unacceptable, they say.

''We are extremely unhappy with the report. There is a huge amount of discontent within the police force, especially in the middle rung of DIG and Additional DIGs and the constabulary. We hope the government takes note of it,'' says says Manjari Jaruhar, General Secretary, IPS Association.

During the meeting, the Association discussed the main issues and put forward their demands which are as follows:

  • They want a Group a Ministers (GoM) to look into the Pay Commission's recommendations.
  • They want pay parity with other arms of the bureaucracy, especially the IAS.
  • They want the government to recognise the role of the police in national security.

SIMI hideout busted in MP, 5 held

Guna (Madhya Pradesh): Five activists of the banned Students Islamic Movement of India were arrested on Tuesday from Chanchoda town in Guna district of Madhya Pradesh, police said.

The five activists, identified as Ubeid Shah (25), Abdul Mubeen (28), Farid Khan (31), Mohammad Zaheer (22) and Abdul Qadir (18), have accepted their links with the banned organisation since 1999, Chanchoda police station in-charge L K Shrivas told reporters. He added that the arrested accused have also confessed to contributing money for carrying out activities of the organisation.

The police have recovered literature associated with SIMI, which was published from Ujjain, news reports about the organisation published in two newspapers, an identity card of a Narsinghgarh-based person identified as Sibbi Asgar and a cell phone having details of persons associated with SIMI, Shrivas said.

They were arrested on charge of indulging in unlawful activities and would be produced in court today for remand.

The arrested workers also admitted about being arrested in 2001 for taking part in SIMI activities. In Neemuch district, another suspected SIMI activist was arrested by the police after conducting raids at four places.

Further investigations were on to find out whether he was associated with the banned outfit.
