The new year has rung in good news to the Mumbai Police as Mumbai Police commissioner Datta Padsalgikar announced the introduction of a compact eight-hour duty schedule for the constabulary and assistant sub-inspector levels. Gradually, it will go up to officer ranks as well.
The Mumbai Police with a staff strength of nearly 50,000 for the 18 million residents is a round-the-clock force. This move is a boon for the city's main protection force which has been rocked by a series of on-duty deaths, mental and physical illnesses owing to long and uncertain duty hours, often stretching to more than 16 hours.
The decision came after a trial was carried out at the Deonar Police Station last year, followed by other police stations across the city and suburbs.
