The UT police has issued standing orders regarding the compulsory written test for the eligible constables having service period of four years for promotion to the rank of head constable, triggering resentment among constables. There are over thousands of constables, who have fulfilled the criteria of seniority since 2000, and are waiting for their promotion as per their seniority. The constables of different batches have started submitting representations in the office of DGP Sanjay Baniwal and Principal Home Secretary Arun Gupta, urging them to withdraw the standing orders.
