| PHQ ignores senior police officer's proposal to post DySP of his choice in Jammu city | | | Bharat Bhushan
JAMMU, Sept 21: If the word that has been taking rounds across J&K police circles is to be believed, police headquarters (PHQ) just did not entertain a senior officer's proposal to post a DySP of his choice in Jammu city.
The PHQ had on Tuesday last ordered the transfers and postings of a total of 31 Deputy Superintendents of Police (DySPs).
The word, that has been taking rounds ever since the transfer order was issued, is that a senior police officer's proposal to post a DySP of his choice as SDPO, Bakshi Nagar, was not given any weightage by the PHQ.
Rejecting the proposal, the PHQ transferred the DySP, stated to be a trusted lieutenant of the senior officer, outside Jammu district.
Police sources said there was also a lack of coordination between some senior police officers in the region. "The PHQ is in knowhow of it and may take steps in near future to ensure that they stop working at cross purposes. But if its efforts fail to yield expected results, it may issue their transfer orders too," the sources added.
Sources alleged that competent DySPs and other police personnel, who had a proven track record in service, were actually a demoralised lot in the force.
"Those driven by the desire to work are ignored and made to suffer, while others, who have blemished track records, are given field postings again and again," sources said.
Because of the PHQ's this transfer policy, demoralisation had started creeping into the State police ranks, the sources added.
Sources said it was the police administration which was to be held responsible for all this and also for producing "below-standard" officers.
It was not at all a good sign for the force which had a bigger task of fighting militants and restoring peace to the State, besides maintaining law and order, the sources added.
Sources felt that merit needed to be recognised and promoted in J&K police to make it a formidable force.
Retired police personnel welfare association (PPWA) had also some time back termed J&K police as a "demoralised" force, alleging that the department had failed to produce men of competence and integrity.
A retired Sub-Inspector (SI) and PPWA member, who did not want to be quoted, said, "Normal policing, meant for ensuring public law and order, combat crime and establishing highest standards of fair and unbiased investigations, seems to be an unachieved goal."
He said police were suffering because of poor and "unprofessional" ways of investigation by IOs. There were, however, some IOs who had proved to be good professionals while conducting probes into certain cases, he added.
"If merit is ignored, a time may come when police can even face the challenge of maintaining law and order," the retired SI said.
A retired IGP alleged that those at the helm of affairs were not encouraging the upright and competent officers who could perform the role of protectors of the lives of people.
He felt that police were a "demoralised" force also because not much attention was being given for their welfare. |
