"There are about 300 Assam police officers and jawans who are habitual drinkers, and excessive alcohol consumption has damaged their bodies," CM Sarma stated.
Digital Desk: Although several warnings were issued to
police officers who performed their duties while under the influence of
alcohol, the Assam government has decided to offer voluntary retirement to
officers and jawans of the police who are habitual drinkers because the
warnings were ineffective. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced this on
Sunday.
Around
300 officers and jawans will be offered retirement under the Voluntary
Retirement Scheme (VRS) because they performed their duties while under the
influence of alcohol, which was ineffective in terms of citizen security.
They will
receive their pensions under the VRS programme, and there will be opportunities
for aspirants to apply in the police department since various positions would
become available following retirement, according to the CM.
"There are
about 300 Assam police officers and jawans who are habitual drinkers, and
excessive alcohol consumption has damaged their bodies," CM Sarma stated.
The state government will implement the Voluntary Retirement Scheme
(VRS)."
"According
to government policy, they will go to VRS and new recruitment will take
place." We had not before done it in Assam. "We will now get to work
on this," he added.
