The city police have changed its rules with regard to recruitment, making it mandatory for those men hoping to join the force as Constable or Sub Inspector to possess a valid driving licence.
An amendment in this regard in the Delhi Police (Appointment and Recruitment) Rules has been cleared by Lieutenant Governor Tejinder Khanna, a senior police official said.
"This will help us in multi-tasking. Now, nobody can say that they can't drive. As drivers just do driving and take up no other responsibility. Now anybody can be assigned any task," a senior police official said.
The official said the new move comes as the top officials believe that the force cannot operate in the "old mode" and there was a need for a "new-thinking" in using human resources.
Amendments have been made in Rule 7 and 9 of Delhi Police (Appointment and Recruitment) Rules, which mandates driving licence for appointments.
The notification read, In rule 7 "after educational qualification, the following shall be inserted, namely driving licence -- a male candidate must possess a valid driving licence for Light Motor Vehicles (motorcycle/car)".
In Rule 9, under heading driving licence, a candidate must possess a valid driving licence for LEV. This requirement is essential for Constables (Executive-Male) in Delhi Police and not for candidates for post of constables Bandsmen or buglars or dog handlers etc.
