India to Roll Out ‘One Nation, One Police Uniform’ Policy Soon
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday mooted the idea of ‘One Nation, One Police Uniform’, saying he is not trying to impose it on states though he thinks the identity of the police across the country could be identical.
The Centre’s ambitious ‘One Nation, One Police Uniform’ initiative has moved to its implementation stage, with the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) directing 16 states and Union Territories, including Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Kerala, Telangana, and West Bengal, to submit detailed information on existing police uniforms and allowances by November 4.
According to an official notification, the MHA has sought data on two key aspects from the rank of Constable to Deputy Superintendent of Police. It requested details from the Police DGs of the 16 states regarding the annual uniform allowance currently sanctioned to police personnel, rank-wise and the approximate cost of a pair of uniforms presently in use across each state or Union Territory.
Following the MHA’s directive, the Odisha DGP Control Room has instructed the State Police Headquarters to compile and forward the required information without delay.
