The Home Department has denied news reports on Tuesday that the Mumbai police commissionerate will hire personnel on a contractual basis. The explanation, albeit unofficial, was given because the home minister was officially expected to respond to legislators later on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Officials denied the news report, saying lack of recruitment and the transfer of 4,500 personnel had created a massive human resource shortage in the state capital. Hence, the Mumbai police decided to get 3,000 jawans from the Maharashtra State Security Corporation (MSSC). The Maharashtra government gave a nod to the request of Police Commissioner Vivek Phansalkar in May. According to the top brass, the jawans will be given non-policing work in police stations and static duties which will ease the burden on police constables.
