Srinagar: Scores of SPOs working in Jammu and Kashmir Police Department Monday alleged that despite being promoted as Constables a decade ago their salary was not enhanced. They said soon after getting promotions, they started drawing Rs 16,000 per month, however, after sometime police department through a circular curtailed our salary and directed the concerned authority to release only Rs 3800 per month.
The SPOs told CNS at a time when market is becoming darer and darer, how they would be able to meet their both ends by meager salary.
