Police recruits who were sworn in remain on ‘strike’

The 164 police recruits who were sworn in by Attorney General Roy Bajnath Panday on Monday are reportedly still on ‘strike.’After the attorney general had sworn them in, Justice and Police Minister

Kenneth Amoksi gave a speech. After the attorney general, the Juspol minister and the police commissioner had left, the police union instructed the new police officers to remain on strike because the government had not kept its promise. The recruits were supposed to be sworn in while they were dressed in a police uniform but that did not happen. They were reportedly dressed in a blue t-shirt and blue jeans. The new police officers will start working when they have been given their police uniform. The recruits had initially gone on strike because it was not certain if they would be sworn in.
