The Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister said police personnel will not be appointed on a contractual basis.
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis asserted in the state legislature today that police personnel will not be appointed on a contractual basis and said Mumbai faces a shortage of around 10,000 cops.
In a statement made in the legislative council, Mr Fadnavis, who is also the home minister, said the Mumbai Police has sought 3,000 personnel from the Maharashtra State Security Corporation (MSSC), an undertaking of the state police, to tide over the paucity of manpower.
He said there is a shortage of around 10,000 personnel in the Mumbai police force and the country's financial capital cannot be safeguarded adequately with this shortfall.
