Leave app to be launched for city police to ensure transparency
The Hindu
To begin with, it will be rolled out for Armed Reserve from December 31
A new mobile-based app is going to be rolled out for police personnel in the city for applying leave and getting the sanction quickly without any hassle.
At the initiative of the Commissioner of Police Shankar Jiwal, the new system has been planned to eradicate delays, summary rejection or favouritism by sanctioning authority and to ensure more transparency.
Mr. Jiwal told The Hindu, “Once the system is in place, personnel need not physically wait for any paperwork. By clicking on the application, the personnel can get their leave sanctioned in three hours without any hassle. In case of rejection, the sanctioning authority should cite the reason. If there is delay for more than three hours, it will be escalated to the superior officer above the sanctioning officer.”
