Cops’ wives want transfer of husbands to home dists
Times of India | 21 September 2024
Kolkata: The kin of cops serving in Bengal Police – mostly their wives – put up a rare protest near Bhawani Bhavan on Friday, demanding immediate transfers so that cops can return to their home districts. Sources said the kin claimed that these policemen had been posted out of the home districts during the Lok Sabha polls.
However, no one has been transferred back despite multiple petitions, several of which include health and other pressing personal reasons.
The protest threw traffic around Gopalnagar and Bhawani Bhavan out of gear during morning rush hours. It took about 10 to 15 minutes to cross the stretch between Horticulture Garden and Bhawani Bhavan. Hazra-bound vehicles had to be diverted for a few minutes during the stir. tnn
