Mangaluru, 27 May 2016: DYFI expressed statewide support to protest called by police department on June 4, in order to fulfill their various demands including salaries depending on their tasks, weekly off and oppression by the senior officers. The state president Muneer Katipalla appealed Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah to fulfill the demands of police force.

 

The police force is inseparable of the society. The police personnel in lower rung face work pressures and a little rest while maintaining law and order. The irregular work schedules, bias in salaries, refusal of leave for just causes is the basic rights that are violated. The overstrained police personnel working day and night also faces the mental torture by the higher officers that has serious consequences on the society and law and order situation. The unionism is allowed in democratic country, while Karnataka government has denied the basic right of police force to form the union. Kerala is the only state that has allowed the police to form union when CPI (M) was reigning there in the past. It’s the irony that CM Siddaramaiah led state government is forcing the police personnel through their senior officers to call of the protest of mass absence for 1 day, stated Muneer, in the media release.    

 

Muneer urged the police force not to call of the protest for any reason extending support of DYFI for their just demands.
