The state government has notified a comprehensive policy in 2009 for conversion of SPOs as constables/followers, the government said. As per the policy, SPOs have been engaged as constables on basis of their excellence in counter-insurgency operations, excellence in sports, ITI diploma
No such policy exists for VDCs.
