The Moustache Allowance

Mayank Jain wants his (Bhopal) police force to be looked upon with awe and respect. His experiment with a Rs. 30 "Moustache allowance" for Cops who sport a "proper" one, seeks to reinstate the lost pride.

Telegraph:
"The response is growing and in the months ahead we expect to see more moustachioed policemen," said Mayank Jain, police chief of a district west of Bhopal where the "prestige enforcing" experiment was recently launched.
...
Mr Jain hit upon the idea of a 37 pence per month moustache allowance after a seminar attended by district policemen and local residents. There were a few constables with moustaches in the gathering and he noticed people looking at them with awe and reverence.
...
Handlebar moustaches were permitted, but only if they did not look overly menacing or challenging.
