| Experimenting over ‘police commissioners’; will it succeed? | | | Early Times Reporter
Jammu | Feb 8
Will the experiment on appointing police commissioners for the cities of Jammu and Srinagar succeed? This question has assumed significance following reports that senior bureaucrats in the civil administration and senior police functionaries oppose the move.
The experiments in other states has proved successful only after the governments in those states were determined to experiment with the appointment of police commissioners. Official sources said that the Director General Police,Mr Kuldeep Khoda,mooted the proposal only after he had felt convinced that the scheme will prove fruitful in improving the law and order machinery.
Chief Minister,Mr Ghulam Nabi Azad,has already accepted Mr Khoda's proposal and the Government has constituted a committee headed by Mr Dilbagh Singh,IG crime and Railways to identify jurisdiction of the two police commissioners and their powers.
Official sources said that senior bureaucrats and police functionaries have started opposing the move as some of them would lose the magisterial powers because the police commissioners were being given magisterial powers relating to imposition of section 144 CRPC and the arrest of a criminal.
Since the police commissioners will have the rank of IGs those IGS who are posted outside the two cities will have nothing to do with day to day developments in areas that fall under the jurisdiction of the police commissioners.
The move is also aimed at creating two more posts of IGs which could remove stagnation.It now depends on the Chief Minister and the state cabinet to clear the proposal after Mr Dilbagh Singh submits his report to the DG police within next one month. |
