How will it make a difference?

The officers may get empanelled, but their placement will still be at the mercy of bureaucrats and politicians.

Politicians and civil administration are complicit

Yes the politicians and civil administration are complicit. But as some one pointed out above the Police specially the leadership doesn't shine. In fact the present system of selecting Police officers needs to be overhauled. They are far removed from ground realities. The leadership only appears to be busy in co-toeing to the politicians and managing their own personal affairs. If things become too uncomfortable the exercise the option of Deputation to centre and go back only when things become favourable. The IPS officers have done practically nothing to alleviate the problems of policemen. The housing, the equipment, the investigative techniques remain ancient. What more can be the proof of the inefficiency of Police leadership than the fact that common public even after 68 yrs of independence doesn't trust police. If they trusted, they wd go to them with their problems. Why don't people help an accident victim? Because of fear of harassment. While every service has its black sheeps, the police seems to have more of them and it is not only at lower levels. It is at higher levels too. I recently heard that almost 50 percent of senior Police officers in Maharashtra are under the scanner for their corrupt practices.
There is a serious case for review of entire policing system in our country. Every police officer getting time scale promotion without linkage to efficency is compromising the effectiveness of Police. And the Police officers have a ready made excuse of politicians not allowing them to do any thing. Arre promotion to assured h to kis baat ka Dar ?

Finance Minister to Act !

It is alleged that the parallel economy is working with budget more than Central Budget. Crores and crores are being spent during elections using cash money. This has been observed by RBi and Election Commission by making statement that flow of cash increases during election period. CBDT has developed many software module to track tax payers but it looks these software are not able to track the money spent during election. Let CBDT to concentrate to track the money spent thru various alerts by each contesting candidates. Tracking low income group will not solve the real problem except to divert the attention from real issue. Why there is no alert when large sum of cash is withdrawn and move from one place to another.It is only known when it is seized by search during election. CBDT to leave low income group concentrate on high value transactions. Make tax compliance simple and tax payer friendly. Automatically people will join the tax net but figure out how to track flow of crores and crores which are outside financial institutions. Think and work! It is possible only when IT department leave chasing low income group.

No law of land in MOS&PI

Any one can noticed from last four months, member of Indian Statistical Service (ISS) and Subordinate Statistical Service (SSS) are being transferred frequently from one place to another place in throughout the country in the absence of structured transfer policy. As per various instructions of DOP&T, transfer policy is mandatory for all cadre controlling authority. These transfers can be challenged before the Court and culprits can be punished.

The concept of Rule of Law is that the state is governed, not by the ruler or the nominated representatives of the people but by the law. The Constitution of India intended for India to be a country governed by the rule of law. It provides that the constitution shall be the supreme power in the land and the legislative and the executive derive their authority from the constitution.

Opening of Bank Account

I have introduced our watchman for opening a Bank a/c. in SBI Gurunanak Nagar branch, in Vijayawada. Despite giving their AADHAR card, a permanent resident`s AADHAR card, an introduction on letter head & filling umpteen forms they want an AADHAR card of myself as proof for writing the letter. If Vijay Mallya were to fill up all these forms on his own, he would not have taken a loan from SBI. Why harassing poor illiterates who want to open a bank a/c to save some thing. The Bank should be given suitable instructions.
