Karnataka Police Revises Orderly System, Ends Non-Policing Duties for Personnel

Karnataka Police has revised its orderly system, ending the deployment of police personnel for non-policing duties such as household tasks. Following a government directive, 373 follower posts will be created in the Civil Police, replacing an equal number from the Karnataka State Reserve Police. These followers will be primarily outsourced and paid minimum wages. Senior officers will have a limited number of followers, and those relieved of orderly duties will receive a monthly allowance. Compliance reports are required from unit heads.
