Assam government decides to appoint Hima Das as DSP
Guwahati/IBNS: The BJP-led Assam government has decided to appoint ace athlete Hima Das who is also known as ‘Dhing Express’ as a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP).
It has been announced in the state budget for the financial year 2020-21 presented by state finance minister Himanta Biswa Sarma in the Assam assembly on Friday.
In his budget speech, Himanta said, “Our government is pleased to announce Ms. Hima Das, our own ‘Dhing Express’, as the first recipient of this policy. She will be offered the position of Deputy Superintendent of Police.”
The Assam government has also decided to appoint the athletes from the state as Grade-I officers of the state government who succeed in winning in Olympics, Asian Games and Commonwealth Games.
“Our government seeks to encourage more people to devote their time to sports and excel in it, thereby bringing laurels not only to themselves but also the state.
We hope that more such sports persons will feel enthused to take sports as a career.
Hence, to encourage sports persons who succeed in winning in Olympics, Asian Games and Commonwealth Games, I propose to bring in a policy to designate such high achievers, as Grade-I officers of the state government,” Himanta said in his budget speech.
