Chief Minister’s Law and Order review meeting is like a slow poison


On 23rd March,2011,Chief Minister Mayawati has chaired another review meeting regarding the situation of Law and Order in the state.It is not the first time when the top bureaucrats of all the districts of Uttar Pradesh have gathered in Lucknow to know their act of shame.Everytime,the Chief Minister say them to pull up their socks but bureaucrats are now become habitual to listen these kind of warnings and these kind of directions are like the fruit juice which they take in their breakfast.Is the Law and Order Review meeting fulfilling it’s purpose?Do the bureaucrats follow the principles of bureaucracy i.e neutrality,anonymity,impersonality ?Is the Chief Minister really bothers about the current situation of Law and Order in the State?Actually,what I understand is that these kind of meetings are acting like a slow poison for the peace and security of the State.In the first year of BSP’S Rule in the state,when the Chief Minister chaired these kind of meetings,then the police used to be active the day before the meeting was held and patrolling was also intensified in the state capital but now I do not see any alertness or activeness on the day before the meeting was held.Earlier,when the Chief Minister chaired the meeting of Commissioners,DMs,SPs,DIGs,IGs,then they had fear in their mind regarding the consequences they could face but now the Chief Minister has only one statement to say that,”Do improve your working style or be  ready to face the consequences.Is this statement really matters a lot for those officers? Now,every post in the Uttar Pradesh Police comes under the shadow of political ambition.People understand that the Government of Uttar Pradesh is not serious about tackling the crime in the State and now they will have to pray to their god to get justice because police has been failed to enact the Rule of Law in the State and the Chief Minister also equally responsible for that.Senior Police Officers are getting strong and becoming dictators by these kind of meetings and the crime graph is heading towards peak point,so the Chief Minister will have to think any other option to make these officers accountable,responsible and committed towards eradicating the crime from the State.
