Police station is the foundation of the state police.Police stations are the arms of District Police.Police station is an institution which operates at the ground level and responsible for making the whole police system strong,efficient and effective in tackling the crime.In modern time,police station has become the worst place in Uttar Pradesh because innocent people are tortured in police stations,a person who is a victim of any crime has been treated with unfriendly behaviour,police station is the place of collection of bribe but I must say that taking money sometimes becomes necessity and state government knows that very well.In Uttar Pradesh,police stations are sold and Chief Minister herself accepted this fact.In 2008,Chief Minister Mayawati introduced “Thana Diwas” in Uttar Pradesh.Small problems related to land,money etc were solved on Thana Diwas and it was a very good initiative to bridge the gap between the police and people.Thana Diwas was organized in an organized way in the beginning but after some months the objective of Thana Diwas has been failed and today nobody want to register his/her complain on Thana Diwas because officers are not present on Thana Diwas.Some officers give the excuse of important meeting,some say that they are inspecting other works.It is very shameful for the Govt. of Uttar Pradesh and whole police department.MLAs,MPs are treated like a king in police stations but a victim who come with a hope of getting justice is treated with unfriendly,unhumane kind of behaviour.Policemen generally apply the principle of nepotism in police stations,they do not want to follow the principle of neutrality.This should be unacceptable for the State Government and whole police department.There is a need of overhauling the complete structure of Police Stations in Uttar Pradesh and make every policeman accountable to aam aadmi.I m particularly talking about the most careless,most corrupt and the most ineffective IPS Officers.Responsibility should be fixed for every DPC to make surprise inspection of any two police stations every week.One surprise inspection of any police station should be made by IG in a month and a surprise inspection should be made by DGP.These kind of inspections should be made in the night because it has been observed that DPCs are generally busy on facebook in the night.I m not able to understand that what a kind of message IPS Officers want to spread on facebook? I accept that it is the duty of SHO to patrol his area in the night but most of the SHOs go to their homes at the time of patrolling in the night.Today,most of the police stations in Uttar Pradesh are governed by political bosses and the fact is that the District Police Chief is the Captain of all the police stations in that particular district.A common man expects that he will be treated in a friendly manner in police station.Police station should become a place for bridging the gap between police and aam aadmi.Police station should become an idol of faith and every policeman should recognize police station as a temple of belief and freindship and it can only possible when police stations will be completely free from political pressure and for that we need Police Reforms.So,the ultimate objective is to bring the police reforms.
