Haryana, however, has a 10-member body with three non-government members, of whom one shall be a retired IPS officer, one a retired IAS officer and another member from public service, legal profession or social organisation, all appointed by the government.
The Board’s recommendations “shall normally be binding on the state government.” Under its new police Act, the State Police Board consists of 14 members, including three non-government persons to be appointed through a transparent manner by an independent panel. Regrettably this has not happened.Ĭompared with Punjab and Haryana, Himachal Pradesh is the most consistent in adhering to the spirit of the apex court’s directives. The court’s directives distil the recommendations of several national reports on police reform over the last 25 years and should have served as a significant reference point in the drafting of police legislation by the states in the region. These include, the setting up of state security commission in each state to lay down policy guidelines for the police and evaluate their performance minimum tenure for the Director-General of Police and other operational officers setting up of a Police Establishment Board headed by the DGP to examine police transfers, promotions and postings and setting up of independent state and district-level complaint authorities with binding powers to look into public complaints of police misconduct. The directives are aimed at eliminating unwarranted pressure on the state police, promoting its functional autonomy and ensuring accountability for its omissions and commissions. On September 22, 2006, it issued directives to the Centre and states for immediate compliance until they frame “appropriate legislation” replacing the existing Act. The Supreme Court noted that “time had come to rise above limited perceptions to bring about some drastic changes in the shape of reforms and restructuring of the police before the country is overtaken by unhealthy developments.” It attributed the present distortions in the functioning of the police to the Police Act of 1861 and hence the pressing need for immediate police reforms. The existing police setup needs immediate overhaul. However, it is a matter of concern that governments of the region have not paid the kind of attention to the issue of policing that it deserves. A sensitive, people-friendly police adds tremendous value to the virtues of civilised living. The Police Act is an important piece of legislation with far-reaching and significant ramifications for the common people and society at large. Three out of four states in the region have an effective two-party system, which encourages good governance. He has delivered the goods in most states where he was put in charge of the party’s strategy and campaign including Madhya Union Law Minister and BJP general secretary Arun Jaitley has been the man with the Midas touch for his party. Gujarat, HP results will lead to BJP’s resurgence: Jaitley
Indians of my generation had been hearing Nehru long before his ringing Tryst with Destiny peroration in the Constituent Assembly at the dawn of Independence at midnight on August 14, 1947. Desai, the celebrated columnist, has voiced appreciation of the oratorical skills of Nehru, Winston Churchill and Hitler to run down Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi’s gift of the gab. Though the government had notified rules for the constitution of these panels as far back as March 12, 1997, successive governments failed to implement it. It fulfils the constitutional mandate under Article 243 Haryana government has decided to set up District Planning Committees in all the districts. The success hinges on effective coordination With a receding hairline, the 57-year-old Rajnikant is all set to join the galaxy of world personalities at Tussaud’s. It houses Indian personalities like Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Amitabhīachchan, Aishwarya Rai and Shah Rukh Khan. Tussaud, the museum exhibits replicas of the world’s well-known personalities. S uperstar Rajnikant will be waxed into immorality at Madame Tussaud’s Museum in London. Jammu and Kashmir is dithering on the issue, postulating insurgency in the state as an excuse. Himachal Pradesh and Haryana have already passed their police Bills. The Punjab Assembly recently approved a new police bill for the state, having replaced the Police Act of 1861. Policing is an important component of good governance. Punjab, Haryana and HP laws augur little change
