In a humane and morale-boosting move, the Karnataka Police Department has announced mandatory leave for police personnel on the occasion of their birthdays and wedding anniversaries, allowing them to spend quality time with their families. As per the directive, police personnel will be granted compulsory leave on their birthday and wedding anniversary days. Officials noted that such measures would enhance morale, reduce stress levels, improve job satisfaction, and ultimately boost productivity and discipline within the force. The directive clearly instructs all unit officers to ensure that leave requests made by police personnel on these occasions are approved without fail. The Home Department’s communication also referenced a representation submitted by Mohan Kumar Danappa, requesting mandatory leave for police personnel from the rank of Constable to ASI.
