Rs.16 crore cut in budget for Delhi Police

NEW DELHI - The funds for Delhi Police have been cut by nearly Rs.16 crore for the coming fiscal in the 2010-11 budget presented by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee Friday.

The force has been given Rs.125.20 crore for plan expenditure and Rs.2,833.93 crore for non-plan expenditure. Last year, the plan and non-plan expenditures were Rs.106.95 crore and Rs.2,868 crore respectively.

A senior Delhi Police official, however, said: “Last year we had to pay nearly Rs.325 crore in arrears following the Sixth Pay Commission. This year we do not have to pay this, so we see it as a hike of Rs.300 crore.”
