The viral letter has created a stir in the police department. After the application went viral, officials removed the line and took action against the charge of 112 due to this negligence. Significantly, holidays have always been an issue in the police force. In view of elections, festivals, and law and order, policemen rarely get off days.
Due to the implementation of the border scheme, the policemen stay away from their families. In this case, Additional Superintendent of Police Durga Prasad Tiwari remarked, "It is everyone's right to take leave. There is no problem in granting leave on normal days, except for occasional festival emergencies. However, there is no information about the viral application of the constable."
