Hey there, Punekars! It looks like our hardworking police officers in Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad are putting in some serious overtime without any official schedule in place. The upcoming Maharashtra Legislative Assembly Elections are keeping them on their toes, with no fixed weekly offs and extra duties being the norm.
According to The Police Act of 1861, our officers are always on call, with no fixed hours of duty and no overtime pay. This means that they’re working long hours without any extra compensation, leading to physical and mental strain. Calls for fixed working hours and overtime pay have been ignored, leaving our officers in a tough spot.
Even though former Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis mandated one weekly off and a day’s salary for police officers back in 2014, these benefits seem to have fallen by the wayside. With emergencies and VIP visits throwing their schedules off track, our officers are facing burnout and fatigue without any relief in sight.
Extended working hours can take a toll on anyone’s health, and our police officers are no exception. Chronic fatigue, stress, and financial worries are just some of the issues they face without proper rest and compensation. Without enough time to spend with their families or focus on their personal lives, our officers are feeling the strain of their demanding jobs.
With a shortage of personnel and a low police-to-population ratio, our officers are stretched thin, working extra hours without any festive bonuses or compensation. Calls for fair treatment and additional bonuses during festivals have gone unanswered, leaving our officers feeling underappreciated and overworked.
It’s time to give our hardworking police officers the support and recognition they deserve. Let’s hope that their sacrifices and dedication are recognized, and that measures are put in place to ensure their well-being and safety on the job. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
