New-Delhi: The Delhi Police has cancelled the leave of all police personnel with immediate effect in view of the ongoing student protests in the national capital.

According to an official order, no police personnel will be granted any routine leave, including casual leave and earned leave, with immediate effect.

The directive applies to officers and personnel of all ranks and will remain in force until fresh instructions are issued.

The order states that leave will be sanctioned only in genuine emergency situations and only after verification and approval by the competent authority. It also directs all Deputy Commissioners of Police (DCPs) to ensure strict compliance with the instructions so that adequate police strength remains available for deployment during the ongoing protests.

Delhi Police cited the “prevailing law & order situation” in its circular.

This comes amid the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has assured students that the government will introduce a stringent law to curb paper leaks and protect the integrity of competitive examinations. The proposed anti-paper leak Bill is expected to be placed before the Union Cabinet and, after approval, is likely to be introduced in Parliament next week.
