The state government on Thursday informed the Madras high court that an optional off in a week has been already made available to members of the police force.

Additional advocate general P H Arvind Pandian made the submission in response to the suggestion made by the court to consider providing weekly off in the police force, so that the members of the force can spend time with their families and rejuvenate themselves.

“If such holiday is optional, and ₹200 is paid as allowance for waiver of the option, police personnel would definitely not avail the off. It would be wise if such waiving option is restricted to not more than once a month. Unless such restriction is made, the police personnel will tend to attend the work without availing their weekly off and fail to spend time with their family. It is the duty of the government to ensure that every police personnel gets weekly off,” Justice N Kirubakaran said.

To this, Pandian said that he would get appropriate instructions from the authorities concerned by July 19.

The submissions were made on a plea seeking to abolish orderly system in police force.

Earlier, the judge observed that the government should also consider prohibiting use of flags of political parties, leaders pictures and boards displaying the posts held in such parties in vehicles.
