Facilities to IPS officers
It is absolutely preposterous that the taxpayer should be burdened with providing cooks and drivers and servants to retired IPS officers. Do even the most senior military or civil officers or judges receive such facilities after retirement? It's a sheer abuse of power. Even politicians give up security after losing elections. Why should so called IPS officers be any different? If spoiled and flabby IPS officers do not wish to join CPO's because they won't be given government personnel as servants for the rest of their lives, they are most welcome not to. All CPO's have dedicated and fully competent officers of their own cadre who are completely up to the task. Look at the Coast Guard. It has a DG from its own cadre, and not borrowed from elsewhere. Why are IPS officers needed in ITBP, or BSF, or any other CPO?

Whispers under influence of IPS lobby
Whispers are under the influence of the IPS lobby. What is the need for the IPS to head the CPOs and why should every retired DG like SPS Rathore and PS Natarajan be a sarkari damaad for all his life. In fact I wonder how many of them face security threats. Each state has about a dozen DGs.
Amitabh Agrawal


MHA's step in right direction
MHA order on provision of staff and vehicles to retired officers is a step in right direction. Present and retired officials of working with MHA should also need to be brought under this provision as a large number of officials and vehicles are deployed at home and their establishments throughout the country. This will save lot of CPO personnel who are working in inhuman conditions and will allow them to live with dignity and save the govt. with lot of funds.

Indians always look for free lunches
We Indians are always looking for free lunches. The ladoos distributed to every commuter at DND toll Plaza by those demanding DND flyway to be made toll free and winning that battle in the Allahabad High Court proved this trait. Little do these champions of free ride realise that they will save Rs. 56 (Rs. 28 each way) at what cost. Experts have already forecast traffic chaos on the Flyway as also on way to South Delhi. Being a daily commuter myself from Noida to Delhi we had so far no serious problem of traffic on the DND. Having a gold card with sensor on the car you deposit lump sum amount of Rs. 3000 and just pass through the specific lane without any hassle. Your daily balance is shown as soon as you pass through. The traffic is bound to increase as those taking other roads to avoid toll will get on this Flyway. Also who will maintain the road when the concerned company is no longer allowed to charge. Will PWD do it? Are they capable of that? Will it be outsourced? Who bears the expenditure? The Government? A portion of bridge is in Delhi and the rest in Noida. How they will share the expense? What will happen to the staff (Quite a large number) employed by the company at the toll plaza?Nobody seems to, not even the high court, looked into these questions before giving the judgment on PIL. It is more of a populist verdict.
