Karnataka DGP orders mandatory sanction of leaves for police personnel on birthdays, anniversaries
Bengaluru: Police personnel in Karnataka will be granted leave on the occasion of their birthdays and wedding anniversaries.
In this regard, Director General and Inspector General of Police (DG & IGP) Dr. M.A. Saleem has issued a circular directing all unit heads to mandatorily sanction leave if police officers or staff apply for leave on their birthday or wedding anniversary.
The circular notes that police personnel work under demanding and stressful conditions to ensure public safety and maintain law and order. In such circumstances, personal milestones like birthdays and wedding anniversaries hold special importance in their lives. Granting leave on these occasions allows officers and staff to spend quality time with their families, emotionally recharge themselves, and maintain a healthy balance between professional duties and personal life.
