CHENNAI: With the Assembly set to debate on the demand-for-grants of the police department, the Tamil Nadu Police Ministerial Staff Association has placed a seven-point charter of demand before the new AIADMK government.Pointing out the revision of yardstick for strengthening of police stations, association president K Prabhakaran said 4,001 executive posts had been sanctioned for six districts under the first phase of the programme. However, the induction of more police personnel into the force had been done without a proportionate increase in the strength of ministerial staff posts. Hence, the government must sanction 174 additional ministerial posts in various ranks to effectively attend to administration and welfare of the executive staff, he claimed.The petition said the zonal offices of the Inspectors General of Police were functioning without their own ministerial staff, and a few hands re-deployed from nearby offices struggled to manage the day-to-day affairs. Also, 600 additional executive posts had been sanctioned in Q Branch CID without sanction of the required additional ministerial posts.It alleged that a large number of vacancies in the ministerial ranks of SP, assistant, junior assistant, typist and steno-typist remained vacant. The petition demanded that the services of 200 staff appointed on compassionate grounds be regularised.
