In its history of 58 years, this is for the first time Nepal Police is facing such a difficulty in its organizational history. If the previous amendment of Nepal Police Regulation is retained, a dozen of senior police officers, including the chief, are likely to be retired just a week before the elections.
Looking at the vulnerable period, Ministry of Home Affairs has already proceeded with a legal proposal to extend the tenure of all the senior police officials for two months or till holding the elections for the Constituent Assembly on November 19.
After the amendment of Regulations in 2006, several police officers were already retired after completion of 30 years in service. According to Nepal Police regulations, police officers have to retire either after completion of 30 years or after the age of 58.
