Early Times Report6
SRINAGAR, Mar 11: At a time when the surveillance system of Jammu & Kashmir Police is being given top most priority by the higher ups, the system has gone away due to the wrong policies of the people at helm.
The purpose behind the setting up of flying squads by the police across the state has been lost due to the 'shortsightedness' of the concerned decision takers. Due to the wrong policies these flying squads have not been able to live up to the expectations of the common masses.
A senior police officer told Early Times that the vehicles which are at the disposal of a police station for the purpose of a flying squad are almost turned idle due to a glaring discrepancy in the overall management of the system.
"The vehicles that are being used for the flying squad purpose are issued meagre 50 litres of petrol or diesel whichever is applicable. In most of the cases diesel is used for such vehicles and there are few petrol operated vehicles. Given this meagre allocation of fuel how can one expect wonders from the flying squad personnel," said the police officer.
When analyzed properly it means that flying squad vehicles can consume not more than 1.75 litres of fuel on a given day. Since the police stations have to look after a huge area it is not possible to track down the criminals or other anti-social elements since the fuel allocation is too meagre.
"The personnel who are deputed for the flying squad duty have to ensure that no anti-social activity is going on within the jurisdiction of their police station. As such it is important for such personnel to move around in the areas which come under the purview of a particular police station. But since the allocation of fuel is too less such a thing is not possible," said the police officer.
The police officer said that it is due to the wrong policy of the concerned higher ups that there has been a spate in the anti-social activities across the state. He said if the fuel allocation would have been on the higher scale then the criminals could have been tracked and then action could have been taken against them.
"It is important that the fuel allocation is increased so that the surveillance system takes practical shape in the real sense. As on date the surveillance system has become a joke with the anti-social elements calling the shots like anything. This may also help in keeping a tab on people who are alleged to have links with militants and their sympathizers," said the police officer. |
