Baddi SP’s leave extended again

Baddi SP Ilma Afroz, who has been on leave for over a month has been granted another leave extension of a week. A senior police officer confirmed that the SP had applied for leave extension and the department has approved it.

Initially, Afroz was granted a 15-day earned leave that began on November 7. However, on the completion of her leave, she was granted leave extension for a week till November 28. Similarly, on November 29, her leave was once again extended for a week and now, another extension has been granted to her.

As per the Police Department, she was granted leave as she wanted to visit her hometown in Uttar Pradesh to attend her mother, who was said to be unwell. The Police Department confirmed it after reports of the SP’s rift with a Congress MLA started to make news.

At present, Vinod Kumar, Commandant of 8th Battalion, Home Guards in Chamba district, has been overseeing police operations in Baddi. He has been given the responsibility till Afroz resumes her duties on her return from leave.
