Denied leave, Ballari Dy.SP writes warning letter to SP, other senior officers
Ballari: A deputy superintendent of police (Dy.SP) in Ballari district has generated widespread attention on social media after expressing his displeasure and issuing a warning to senior officers regarding his leave request. The letter penned by Sandur Dy.SP SS Kashi has gone viral, shedding light on the matter.
Reportedly, Dy.SP Kashi had sought permission from Ballari District Superintendent of Police Ranjith Kumar to take a month-long leave. He cited the necessity for engaging in meditation, prayer, and yoga to alleviate stress and enhance his ability to fulfill his duties effectively. However, the SP granted him only five days of leave, leading to the deputy superintendent's discontent.
In his letter addressed to senior officials, the Dy.SP voiced his dissatisfaction with the decision and issued a cautionary statement. He expressed concern that if his request for a month's leave is denied and he is compelled to resume duty after five days, any potential misconduct on his part would hold the authorities accountable.
Furthermore, the Dy.SP highlighted the lack of clarity regarding the denial of his leave request. He noted that he had not received a clear explanation as to whether his leave was being denied for a specific reason or if he lacked sufficient leave balance. He criticized the management's alleged bias, deception, and falsehood, which, according to him, only exacerbated his stress levels.
