Transfer is a routine procedure. Farewell ceremonies are organized in various police stations / branches in honor of police officers transferred from one such unit / place to another unit / place.
In such ceremonies, when the concerned police officers are wearing police uniform, tying colored ribbons on them, showering flowers on them, making them sit in the vehicle and dragging the vehicle with a rope by the concerned police station / branch officer / enforcers have been observed. Also, they are sent off in a government vehicle like a retiring officer. Such behavior is not in accordance with the standard procedure of the police force.
Such kind of felicitation programs are broadcasted on social media by the officers themselves or through their hands to gain publicity. Therefore, on the contrary, they become the object of ridicule and ridicule among the people. Local citizens always respect the good works and achievements of the officer and not such showmanship.
