The Madras High Court has said the Tamil Nadu government should consider giving policemen a day's holiday in a week like every government servant is entitled to, so that they too can spend time with their families.
When a plea seeking abolition of orderly system in the police force came up yesterday, Justice N Kirubakaran said "Every government servant is entitled to a one-day holiday in a week so that they can spend time with their families, likewise why shouldn't the police personnel who don't get a weekly off?."
Taking note of incidents in which police personnel were attacked he said, "The people who attack the police personnel are emboldened to do it and they (police) are not secured from such attacks, then what will be their fate?"
