Tenure of sahayak police personnel to be extended by another year, says state govt

Chief Minister Hemant Soren has directed the extension of the contract for sahayak police personnel by another year. The proposal will be sent to the state cabinet for approval by the home, prison, and disaster management department. Approximately 1,900 sahayak police officers, initially appointed in 2017 in 12 extremist-affected districts, are awaiting this extension after their contracts expired in August.
