Madhya Pradesh Police Reviews Sub-Inspector Promotions to Inspector

In the state of Madhya Pradesh, the police department is deciding who should get a higher rank at work.

Getting a higher rank is called a promotion.

Many police officers were recently given promotions.

Officers who used to be constables became head constables, and some head constables became assistant sub-inspectors.

Now the department is checking on a group of officers called sub-inspectors who want to become inspectors, an even higher job.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, bosses did not write reports about how well some sub-inspectors worked.

Without those reports, the officers were passed over for promotion.

The police leaders are now reviewing those cases again, and they think more than 100 sub-inspectors will get promoted this time.
