Nagaland Police Service Association (NPSA) has agreed and supported the stand of the Nagaland Civil Services Association (NCSA) that state service officials cannot be discriminated in favour of central service cadres such as IAS for posting as DCs.
NPSA through its president Vekhosa Chakhesang and general secretary Watichuchang Jamir said that the present law and order situation in Nagaland was largely peaceful despite the protracted and unresolved issues. Further, NPSA asserted that the circumstances under which the government post its officers, who it considered suitable for a particular assignment, was a prerogative that should be left to the wisdom and discretion of state government.
NPSA said the role of the district police in assisting the district administration also required balancing the factors that connect the people, their customs and traditions and the need for an effective administration. It said the government has been exercising its prerogative of posting suitable officers to districts and the officers have proved to be capable as reposed.
