Imphal, December 16 2019:
Numerous MPTO staff have raised concerns about the possible impact on their career if the 10 percent reservation for Good Service (GS) and Outstanding Sportsperson as mentioned in the Manipur Police Telecommunication (Non Gazetted) Service Rules, 2019, is enforced.
According to a source, the staff explained that as per the Assam Police Manual Act, Part 3, Rule 44, 45 and 46, promotion or Financial Accelerated Increment for securing 5 marks in GS, is only for armed police personnel and this is not given to the sportspersons.
MPTO staff are not attached to MR/IRB/Civil Police Cadre and is a small and technical department.
As such, if they are to be taken as armed police, then they should be transferrable and regarded as MPS/IPS cadres.
As such the MPTO staff opposed the promotion reservation as it would lead to problems later on and also appealed to the authorities concerned to look into the matter at the earliest, the source added.
