The Director General of Police/ head of the police force C. Sylendra Babu has issued a circular ordering that personnel must be given a day off every week compulsorily so as to maintain their health and enable them to spend time with their family.

Overtime duty allowance should be paid to those personnel who are on duty on the rest day, skipping their weekly off.
