22 Absent Police Personnel Given 7-Day Ultimatum to Report

Kathmandu, [Date] – The Nepal Police Headquarters has issued a final warning to 22 police personnel who have been absent without official leave and out of contact for a prolonged period. These officers must report to authorities within seven days or face immediate termination from service.

Details of the Notice

The Police Inspector General's Secretariat, Legal Branch, published a public notice directing the absent personnel to:

• Present themselves before the concerned office within the stipulated deadline

• Provide satisfactory written explanations for their prolonged absence

• Face automatic dismissal if they fail to comply with the order

Legal Basis for Action

The ultimatum has been issued under Rule 115 of the Police Regulations, 2071 (2014), which governs disciplinary procedures for unauthorized absences. Despite multiple attempts to contact the missing personnel through official channels, they remained unresponsive, prompting this final notice.

Consequences of Non-Compliance

Officials confirmed that any personnel who:

• Do not report within the 7-day window

• Fail to provide valid reasons for their absence
  will be removed from police service through formal dismissal proceedings.

Police Department's Stance

This action demonstrates the Nepal Police's zero-tolerance policy toward:

• Unexcused absenteeism

• Violation of service regulations

• Breakdown in organizational discipline

The move aims to maintain professionalism and accountability within the security force.
