The irresponsible statement given by the DIG of Saharanpur, clearly reveals the  ideology and  frustration of police in finding the missing girls of poor and deprived families.On Tuesday,in a law and order review meeting,SP of Sant Kabir Nagar reportedly said that he was fed up of cases that involved missing girls and he asked his fellow cops that “Should we catch thieves or girls?” If an officer of the rank of SP or DIG is giving this kind of immature remarks,then what should we expect of their fellow policemen? Actually,the crux of the matter is that the state government has not separated the work of  law and order and investigation matters.Today,police has to do every kind of work,ranging from maintaining law and order,controlling crime,investigating criminal matters,regulating traffic and so on.Undoubtedly,the role and responsibilities of police has been increased manifold in the 21st century.People’s expectations and aspirations to receive meaningful answers and get impartial justice on the part of investigation,is legitimate,but on the other hand,government too has the responsibility of looking into the structural problem exist in the police organization.Uttar Pradesh government’s biggest failure is the continuous ignorance of problems exist in the police administration.To manage the state of 20 crore people and crime of heinous nature,government needs to understand the kind of attention which it should pay to improve the overall structure of police organization and for that Chief Minister and top police officials needs to spend various nights in making a comprehensive policy to organize the police administration in an effective and efficient way.
