In view of rising tensions between India and Pakistan, Mumbai Police has suspended the approval of all new leaves for its personnel, according to the reports. The move comes after Indian security agencies carried out strikes on terror launch pads located in Pakistan. Following the operation, police forces across the country have been placed on high alert.
Mumbai Police is also on high alert and has taken a significant step to ensure preparedness. According to reports, all senior officers have been informed not to approve any new leave requests for personnel of any rank.
