Patna, (Bihar Times): As predicted no police medal has been given to the police personnel from Bihar.Thanks to the inefficiency of the state government the names landed up in Delhi too late to be accepted.
The police headquarters had recommended 20 names, including two for the President’s Police Medal for Distinguished Services and 18 for Police Medal for Meritorious Services.
While names of DG (OSD), Bihar Bhavan, New Delhi, J K Khanna and IG (provision) Ravindra Kumar were sent to the ministry of home affairs for considering them for the Distinguished Services Medal, IG (special vigilance unit) Abhay K Upadhayay and DIGs Vinay Kumar and Preeta Verma figured among the 18 officers who were to be given Police Medal for Meritorious Services.
Reports said that the ministry of home affairs (MHA) refused to accept the list sent by the police headquarters because it was too late for consideration. While officials of Central Police Organizations (CPOs) met on January 4 to review the all India list for clearing the names of awardees, Bihar's list reached there on January 11, 2009.
Surprisingly, this is the second time in three years that no policeman from BNihar could get award because of delay in sending the names from the state.
