NOIDA Police is trained by Los Angeles Police
CIA, FBI and the Los Angeles Police all claimed to be the most efficient Force in the United States. President Bush decided to put these claims to test. He had a rabbit released in a forest and first ordered CIA to find it. After three weeks of intensive satellite aerial and electronic surveillance and sending in spies, CIA reported that there was no rabbit in the forest.
It was FBI's turn next. It surrounded the wrong forest, sent in SWAT teams searched high and low. After blundering around for a fortnight the exasperated FBI set fire to the forest. All the animals perished, FBI sifted through the carcasses and said that there was no rabbit and in fact it never existed.
A confident L A Police was then unleashed. Six hours later a police squad emerged, dragging a bear that was obviously badly beaten. The bear kept shouting "I confess - I am a rabbit, I am a rabbit."
Obviously the NOIDA Police has been trained by the Los Angeles Police and surpassed them in the Arushi case.

NOIDA Police is incompetent
he Noida police has become a den of incompetent and bungling policemen. First there was the maneater of Nathari, Pandher and now the Arushi Talwar murder. In future, Noida police would do better utilizing the services of the police Dog Squad alone. They will surely stick to the facts and do an impartial inquiry without applying their minds like the IG Meerut Range did recently before the national media and made a fuss of himself. No, police sniffer dog will ever make an ass of himself before the media.

Professional Standards of IPS - a response
This is regard to SC Sharma's comments on Noida murder case. Everyone was equally appalled listening to the Press Conference of the IG of Meerut in respect to Arushi murder case. Not only was he unprofessional and insensitive, he led a team of police officers who did not collect enough evidence before arresting the father of the girl. I only wish that further investigation doesn't prove that he was involved - what worse for a father to lose his daughter, then be implicated for her murder and having her and his name maligned in public. IG will have a lot of explaining to do, if that happens.
Having said this, we need to be mature enough not to use this unfortunate incident to berate and belittle the police force, especially the IPS. I am sure Sharma, as much as other officers, have worked with highly honourable and professional police officers. Aren't we being 'insensitive' by using a murder case as an 'opportunity' to intentionally malign a service?

He wants guidance from IPS and IRS officers
CBSE results were published a few days ago. Yesterday one of my students came to school rather agitated. He had secured 88% marks but failed to procure admission forms for economics honours at St Stephens, Sriram College of Commerce and Kirorimal. He was told that he had little chance of entry in any of these colleges even after the fourth cut-off list. His other friends with 95% plus were on the other hand sure to get in. Now his argument is that one single examination cannot decide his entire academic future. He must be given a berth in Stephens or Sriram. He wants to get in touch with the IPS and IRS officer's associations for advice as how to claim equal treatment for one single not so equal performance vis a vis the IFS and IAS. Can anyone help?

It's a loss of UP
I am amazed at the views of AK Singh. How can the hounding of an honest man from his post when he is not palpable enough to rubber stamp the Governments illegal decisions, be considered resignation for personal reasons? It is the only state to have an unusual post of 'Cabinet Secretary', as the then Honest Chief Secretary was never going to allow any violation of rules. How can this case be compared to the resignation of officers who had been superceded for appointment to the Foreign Secretary's post? Mishra was at the pinnacle of his career as Secretary to the Government of India, when he was called back to the state to give credibility to the administration of 'Behanji'. Pragya is right, the loss is of UP that it did not honour & value an upright officer.

Lage raho munna bhai
Are they only meant to enjoy cushy postings at the cost of senior deserving cadre officers or make some contribution to the law and order situation in the country his predecessor enjoyed 7 years on central deputation to serve his personal needs contrary to norms of serving in field areas if this trend of luxurious postings continues god save the country. Lage raho munna bhai.

Sixth Pay Commission
A lot of buzz has been doing the round about the 6th Pay Commission Report. The Government appointed a Committee of Secretaries to go into the recommendations. But no time limit has been indicated for the Committee to give final shape to the recommendations. Employees are curiously waiting for the deliberations of the Committee of Secretaries. The Government should set a confirmed date for the results of the deliberations as this may be the last pay commission for those who are retiring shortly or have already superannuated. Where ever one goes, the question being asked is when the recommendations are going to be implemented.

Whispers can perform this duty
I presume that the spouses of good number of officers in IAS/IRS/IPS/IFS are from the same or similar cadre. It has also been observed that most of them are posted at the same stations through out their service span whether on deputation or on regular postings.
Is their any study made so far on this that how many such officials in Government of India. If yes, can it be made to public. And if not, will it be possible to make such study.
In my opinion, whispers can perform this study and do the needful easily.
