The Telangana Government on Saturday accorded permission for continuation of 1750 Special Police Officers for a further period of two more years.
As many as 1750 ex-servicemen were hired by the Police Department as SPOs for a period of one year from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015, duly enhancing the honorarium from Rs. 7,500/- to Rs. 10,000/- per month on contract basis. Since their contract period was about to expire this month-end, the State Government, through GO Ms. No. 44, decided to continue their services from 01-07-2015 to 30-06-2017, i.e., 24 months, on contract basis.
