The State Home Department on Tuesday directed the administration wing in the police headquarters to withdraw orderlies (police personnel working as cooks and domestic help) who continue to work in the houses of retired IPS officers. This shows that while the system of orderlies was officially done away with, it continues unabated.
Additional Director General of Police (Administration) Soumendu Mukherjee issued the order, which quoted the petition of retired Director General of Police P. Ravindranath dated April, 2022, stating thar orderlies are still working at houses of retired IPS officers. Mr. Mukherjee directed the nodal officials to withdraw the orderlies and submit a report to the head office in a week.
