The proposal is pending between the DGP and the state government for past five years.
The SPS association has raised various demands in front of the department head, director general of police (DGP).
The officials of SPS organisation told Free Press that for past five years they are raising the demand to permit them to wear the ‘Ashoka with Star’ on their uniform along with the ‘MP Police’ batch. The facility is asked only for the additional superintendent of police (ASP) and none other.
It will not going to put any of the financial burden on the state government. It is also added that many of the SPS officers get retires before they could become the IPS cadre. There are many ‘ifs and but’, to get the IPS cadre, although they are having all the qualifications for the IPS post.
