The process began with the prisons department proposing the new posts, addressing current shortages and future needs, and having the proposal vetted by the administrative reforms department. Financial implications were then reviewed and approved by the finance department.
A meeting was held on August 7 to discuss the proposal, which was then moved for LG approval on August 21. Following this, the lieutenant governor approved the creation of the posts with the directive that they be filled within six months, the officials added.
