Jammu, Sept 13: Jammu: Under criticism for its flawed mode of functioning, the Police department has shown its yet another aspect of working which not just reflects its insensitive face but also sheer carelessness in handling certain matters. One such is aspect is with respect to a huge number of missing complaints Police receives almost every day , especially those of children. Ironically, the negligence, inaccuracy and inappropriateness of things from facts to language used in the ads are all inscribed under the designation of officers of no less rank than the SSP himself.
The 'missing ads' given by the Police Department in newspapers are meant to seek any appropriate clue in order to facilitate their job of search in right quarters and eventually help the families to locate their disappeared children. However, of late it has been seen the ads given by the Police department are only as a matter of formality , rather than duty. These are more misleading and ambiguous than straight and clear, as the content should normally be like. In one such ads recently given in one of English newspaper, the details right from top to bottom were all confusing with mixed up details as to who is missing and who is seeking the clue. The only link indicating the missing person was indicated by the picture.
It was about a young girl from far off district of Rajouri whose missing report was apparently lodged by the parents in the Police department. The language of the report was grammatically incorrect, something usual with such complaints the parents in such cases not aware of appropriate usage of content and language in such complaints. However, what came as a shocker was the complaint content was picked up in the same form and pasted as ad in the newspaper. Worse, the ad was printed with mention of SSP in bold letters along with missing-something which compounded the confusion. It was followed by haphazardly written details of place, age parentage, date etc, all important links with such reports.
There was even an iota of change made by the concerned police officer to put the details in order so as to make the ad more comprehensible and readable. It was not just one instead this is with every second missing ad where the details are confusing , if not false. One wonders and wonders for more than one lapse on this front. On one hand Police is seen to be saviour, champion of human rights and above all expected to show sensitivity in such matters, the concerned families being in pain for the missing person. But Police doesn't comply to any of its acclaimed principles while handling with these complaints. Nor do they show any sensitive approach in getting the ads printed in the newspapers, notwithstanding the fact that these come from PCR where there is no dearth of educated officers who can at least correct the language and put details in right perspective. They can do this much at least with the missing applications of children. Despite spending
money and energy, this more often goes as futile exercise. High time senior officers give a look to it…!
