Election police in Rukum East have protested, saying they were cheated. They allege that they were employed against the contract, that their people were given nominal appointments, and that the uniforms were tampered with.
The election police, who gathered at the gate of the District Police Office and protested, said that the DSP appointed three people at his own discretion and did not put them on training and duty, and that some election police were even used to build the office building against the contract.
Election police officer MB BK said that they had to work on the construction of a duty post next to the office during the election training. ‘We were put on construction work with the intention of getting food. But now nothing has been done,’ he said.
They also said that the uniforms they received were not as per the specified budget. Election police officer Deepak KC said that he received 11,570 rupees for the uniforms and returned them as they were. ‘During the training, Inspector Sap had told us that the uniforms would cost us 6,000 rupees. But now the entire amount has been demanded,' he said, 'Even the uniform is not good. It seems that there is a problem with this too.'
The election police in Rukum East are supposed to get 12 thousand for food, 33 hundred for mountain allowance, 846 for vehicle rent and 11 thousand 570 for uniform and 869 per day for 40 days of work, according to the election police. They have also accused some election police of being close to the Chief District Officer and of deploying only 10-4 during training.
Police Chief DSP Umashankar Prasad Yadav said that the election police were only making allegations and there was no shortcoming on the part of the office. 'Since the election police can and can apply from anywhere in the country, they have come from various places in this district. But no special facilities have been given in this way,' he said, 'Some who came from the Terai have been deployed nearby and some on patrolling as it may be difficult at high altitude. There is no specific intention behind this.’ He claimed that although he may have been employed to clean the office in the morning and evening during his training, he was not employed to do building construction work.
