KATHMANDU: Armed Police Force has scrapped the rule deducting certain amount of money from allowances that police personnel get during their visit to conflict-hit countries on UN Peacekeeping missions.

With the new rule, APF personnel now will not have to give USD150 to the organisation.

Earlier, APF used to provide the deducted amount to APF Women’s Association, Former APF Police Association and the Sports Department of APF. However, such personnel will still have to sacrifice nine per cent of their allowance for APF’s welfare fund.
