Thanks to Supreme Court

A step has been taken by Uttar Pradesh Government towards police reforms.Now,Station House Officer(SHO),Circle Officer(CO),Additional Superintendent of Police(ASP),Superintendent of Police(SP),Senior Superintendent of Police(SSP),Deputy Inspector General(DIG),Inspector General of Police(IGP),Additional Director General of Police(ADGP) and Director General of Police(DGP) will have a minimum tenure of two years,means from SHO to DGP will remain on their position till two years provided that they will work with honesty.This is beginning and i m happy with this decision.In another decision,State Security Commission will be constituted in which a member of an opposition party will be included for providing the environment free of political pressure to our police force.But,this is only step,there are still many steps needed to make our police force efficient,strong and capable to fight against criminals in any condition.

Senstivity of Uttar Pradesh Policemen.

Law and Order is the top priority for any state government.Police is

the most important organ of a state to maintain Law and Order but it

depends on both the government and police to make the state peaceful

so that development takes place in a systematic way without any

problem.But it is also the responsibility of police to be

vigilant,which most of the police forces are not and the good example

of that is Uttar Pradesh Police.When the judgement on Ayodhya came

then before that Uttar Pradesh Police gave it best not because of they

are sensitive towards the peace of state but due to the strictness of

the state government.At that time UP Police got too much praise for

their good work.But,in general days you can see the real face of Uttar

Pradesh Police.Police check posts have been made but most of them are

today in bad condition,some of them were locked,some of them has one

or two policemen who are performing their duty and very few have four

or five policemen who are performing their task but they have a lack

of sensitivity and commitment.I m going to give a best example of

this.In Lucknow,a modern police check post has been made in Charbagh

Area(Area having Lucknow Railway Station).This is a sensitive area due

to existence of railway station.Thousands of people pass from this

area daily.The Police Check post is fully Air Conditioned,Two CCTVs

were installed,flower pots are placed to make the check post beautiful

and a screen has been fitted on the top of the check post in which a

very beautiful and motivating message gets display in every

evening,"Lucknow Police Welcomes You."In an overall perspective,this

check post is full of technology and suitable for policemen but

policemen posted on this check post became lazy and they always sit

inside the check post and do gossips.There is no need for them to look

outside that what is happening.Seniior Officers don't feel the need to

do a surprise inspection.Untill and unless accountability will not be

fixed for Senior Officers like SPs,DIGs,IGs,situation will remain the

same and money spend on constructing a modern check post go worthless.
