SRINAGAR: The State Administrative Council (SAC) has accorded sanction to the stepping up of pay of senior officials (Police Head Constables) to address the pay disparity at the level of Head Constables of Jammu and Kashmir Police vis-à-vis their juniors, in relaxation of the rules, prospectively, from the date of issuance of orders.
SAC further directed that such anomaly should not be allowed to arise in future and the constables who are due for in-situ promotion before their functional promotion should be considered for the same before granting them any functional promotion.
The decision will benefit about 6000 police personnel, ensure pay parity, remove existing pay anomalies and prevent such recurrence in future.
