Personnel of the Jammu and Kashmir Police have not been paid allowances under the ‘ration money’ head for last five months in wake of the force facing a budget deficit of Rs 17 crore.

Sources told local news agency, KNS that ration money to the personnel of Jammu and Kashmir Police (JKP) has been with held for last five months due to deficiency in the Police Budget.  “An amount of Rs 600 is given to every Policeman up to the rank of Inspector; however, the force personnel have not been paid the money for last several months. The officers express their helplessness in the issue as there is deficit in the budget”, they added.

When contacted Assitant Director General (ADG) of Police (Headquarters), S.P Vaid, admitted that deficiency in the Police Budget was the cause for suffering to the policemen.

“Required ration money for our forces is rupees 57 crore and the government has provided only Rs 42 crores resulting in a deficiency of Rs 15 crores. There is a liability of the last year to the tune of 2 crore, thus taking the total current deficiency to Rs 17 crore”, said Vaid.

When asked whether the police authorities had raised the issue with concerned authorities, he said, “I had informed Budget Review Team which was then headed by Khanday Sahab about the deficiency and had recommended that ration money should be enhanced from Rs 600 to 1000”, he replied.

He added that he had also recommended that the ration money should be paid to the police personnel as part of their monthly salary.

“CRPF is getting Rs 1800 per month as ration money. It is a very sad part from the authorities to provide a mere 600 to our men”, he added.
