DCRE police personnel in Karnataka to receive hardship allowance

The Karnataka government has decided to provide a monthly hardship allowance to 626 police personnel serving in 33 police stations under the Directorate of Civil Rights Enforcement (DCRE). This decision comes after recommendations by Mohan Kumar Danappa, Member of the Karnataka State Police Complaints Authority (SPCA), who noted the challenging nature of DCRE police personnel's duties in investigating atrocities against Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs).

The allowance, which includes ₹2,000 for Police Sub-Inspectors (PSIs), ₹2,000 for Police Head Constables (HCs), and ₹3,000 for Police Constables (PCs), will help alleviate the heavy workload and inadequate benefits these personnel currently face.
