This logic might appear as rearward but this is actually happening in
India. The officials think people would obey such officers who are able to
command huge respect because of their moustache. Not only from public, they
would be able to draw respect from fellow officers as well. This would also
encourage others to grow moustache. The pay scale is different for different
lengths. More the moustache, more the police shall shell out.
During a seminar, Police Chief,
Mayank Jain, came up with an idea when he noticed that police officers with
moustache were able to get more respect as compared to others. He initiated
this rule of getting paid for growing moustache. Though the additional pay is
not a very big amount but it will surely encourage officers to work on their
looks. The payment is around Rs. 30.
In an interview, Police Chief said that the response is growing with the
passage of time. Money might not be a big motivator but earning respect from
fellow officers has been a motivator for sure. Even the constables are able to
leave a positive impression on the local people. Also, a watch on the style of
moustache has been kept in order to avoid deliverance of any wrong message or
idea.
