| DGP recruitments should not be restricted to hot spots | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, May 15: Hassle free recruitments are presently going on in the State police force in many areas of the Valley. These recruitments are known as DGP recruitments wherein youths are selected on the spot in presence of senior police officers for constable level entry into the State police.
Such recruitments are welcomed by youths desirous of serving the State police force as there are no strings attached to these recruitments by way of physical tests, written tests, interviews etc.
Deserving candidates are selected on the spot and given appointment orders in a transparent manner.
But, the most important question to be answered by the State Government that obviously decides the places where such recruitments are made concerns the yardstick fixed for choosing places of recruitments.
In the past the general practice was that DGP recruitments would be held at far flung areas from where the youths could not afford to move closer to the capital cities for seeking recruitments because of distance, poverty, educational and social backwardness.
The DGP recruitments have been held for the downtown areas of Srinagar city recently and after that in the Rafiabad area of Baramulla district.
Interestingly, these have been the places where the State police force faced maximum law and order problems during 2009 and 2010. It is within the powers of the State Government and also its duty to ensure that youth misguided by the separatist forces on one pretext or the other are brought back into the national mainstream be it through recruitments into the police force, interactions between these youths and the security forces or organization of sports and cultural events.
Nobody grudges the State Government the right to adopt this strategy. But the moot point that is being raised by thousands of youths living in places those remained by far and large peaceful during the troubled days of 2009 and 2010 is whether a resort to lawlessness is a pre-requisite for seeking direct recruitments in the State police? Haven't thousands of educated youths the right to get appointed in the State police force in the same manner as hundreds have been recently selected from areas usually prone to law and order problems?
Unless the strategy is quickly matched by ordering such recruitments in peaceful and law abiding areas of the State as well the policy would definitely boomerang. Wooing those waylaid by the separatists is fine, but this should not be done by completely ignoring those who do not believe in taking law into their own hands to strike a quick deal with the Government. |
