Former Congress MLC Raghu Achar joins JD(S) after being denied Congress ticket
Bengaluru: Former Congress member and ex-MLC G Raghu Achar joined the Janata Dal (Secular) on Friday in Bengaluru. The move came after Achar was denied a ticket to contest the upcoming Assembly elections from Chitradurga.
A formal event was held at the JP Bhavan, where Achar was welcomed into the JD(S) by party supremo HD Kumaraswamy and JD(S) State President CM Ibrahim.
Hundreds of Achar’s supporters were also present at the event. The former MLC had expressed his desire to contest from Chitradurga, but the Congress had chosen to field KC Veerendra for the polls this year, much to Achar’s disappointment.
With his induction into the JD(S), Achar will be hoping to revive his political career and make a mark in the upcoming elections.

2-year central deputation mandatory for IPS officers of 2011 batch onwards for IG empanelment: Govt
New Delhi (PTI): The government has made it mandatory for IPS officers of the 2011 batch and onwards to have a minimum of two years' experience at the SP or DIG level on central deputation to be empanelled as inspector general (IG) at the Centre, an official order said.
The move aims to ensure that senior officers have adequate ground-level working experience at the Centre, an officer in the know of the development said.
In the order issued recently, the ministry said, "A minimum of two years of central experience at SP/DIG or equivalent level shall be mandatory for empanelment of IPS officers at IG/eqvt. level at the Centre from the 2011 batch onwards."
While a similar requirement existed for Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers deputed to the Centre, there was no such mandatory requirement for Indian Police Service (IPS) officers posted to Central Armed Police Forces and other positions at the IG level at the Centre.
