| E-tendering in police from January 2012: Vaid | | Says payments of contractors will now directly go to their bank accounts from treasury to end "commission" culture | | Bharat Bhushan
JAMMU, Nov 28: In today's world, innovation is the mantra of success. Winners are those who match new and workable ideas, feels additional director general of police (ADGP) S P Vaid.
Vaid, who is back to the state after the completion of his deputation period to the Centre, is all set to implement new and innovative ideas to make his department corruption-free and bring transparency in the police recruitment process.
His concepts are the new ways of dealing with the persistent problem of corruption. He also feels that innovation and transparency are the mantras of good administration.
He was director (training) for three years in bureau of police research and development, New Delhi. There, he was incharge of the training matters of the country's 2.8 million police personnel and coordinated on behalf of the ministry of home affairs (MHA).
He rejoined his duties here Friday last and took over as ADGP, police headquarters. In an exclusive interview to The Early Times, his first to a newspaper after his return to the state, Vaid looked confident and firm in taking his ideas from formulation to implementation.
He, however, regretted that till now the police department here had not introduced e-tendering.
"I have decided to introduce e-tendering from January 1, 2012," he said and added, "I have already spoken to NIC officers at the civil secretariate to make the requisite arrangements in this regard."
As a tiny first step to fight corruption, Vaid has taken an important decision to end the culture of "commission" in the department.
Payments to contractors engaged for different works by police, would now directly go to their bank accounts from the treasury, and necessary orders in this context had already been issued, he said.
The ADGP said to take payments against the works done by them, the contractors would now not be required to come to the office. The transfer of their payments directly to their bank accounts from the treasury would end the "human interference" at office, almost bringing the commission culture in the department to an end, he felt.
He also has plans to modernise the police transport workshops, besides taking some welfare measures.
Asked what steps he proposed to further improve the functioning of state police, the ADGP said the first thing he realised during his three-year stay in New Delhi was that the state police force lacked "exposure".
To acquaint them with the ways of functioning of police in other states, or even outside the country, they ought to be sent there in batches, he opined.
When his attention was drawn towards the police cases failing in courts due to poor investigation, Vaid said there was an urgent need for police to train their officers in a way so that the investigations of cases done by them did not fail in courts.
For this, the officers should be sent to the prestigious central detective training schools and such organisations of CBI, he added.
In reply to another question, he said to minimise own casualities in gun fights with militants, all operations had to be intelligence-based and police personnel should necessarily be given protective gear.
Vaid informed that an interaction course on tactical preparedness for militancy would be held Tuesday for IPS officers at the Udhampur-based police training academy.
He said national police mission directorate had recommended transparent recruitment process (TRP). "It has been implemented in the central police organisations, and we will also try to implement it at the earliest," he asserted.
The ADGP said MHA had made it clear that those, who implemented TRP, would get the central modernisation grant immediately. |
