The Finance Ministry has committed to provide Rs 10 million to set up each of the offices, Lila Mani Paudel, home secretary, told mediapersons.
Firstly, we will work on infrastructure and system in those districts and gradually choose the best persons for the offices to set an example for others to implement, added Paudel. However he said the ministry is yet to finalise the names of chosen districts.
Paudel also claimed that the recent transfer of Chief District Officer was made on the basis of transparent parameters.
The ministry has been lauded for transparency in the transfer of district security heads, though it has drawn flak over promotion of DIG Kuber Singh Rana to AIG.
Paudel also revealed that to strengthen the authority in the district, CDOs would evaluate the performance of security chiefs in the districts.
