The UP government has directed the state police to launch a two- month long campaign to dispose pending cases in a time-bound and transparent manner. The drive will commence from February 07, for disposal of land related cases and applications for which were received in each district during the tehsil diwas.
Presiding over a review meeting of the Home department, Chief Secretary Alok Ranjan ordered stern action against Station Officers and Sub-divisional Officers if they failed to deliver. He asked for tactful handling of such cases in communally sensitive districts. Ranjan stressed that FIRs be properly probed and strict action be taken against trouble makers responsible for stoking communal passion.
For preventing cyber crimes, Ranjan said that cyber police stations be established in lucknow and NOIDA along with cyber labs. He said that at least two women constables should be deployed in all police stations to assist women in registering their complaints. CCTV cameras should be installed at the earliest in at least 272 police stations in the first phase. He said that police personnel be trained for good conduct with the people visiting the police stations.
The Chief Secretary also asked the DGP to fix responsibility of Additional Superintendent of Police (Crime) and district police officers for prevention of crime. He said that action should be taken against listed gangs of criminals.
Ranjan directed for seizure and cancellation of licensed arms, if they were used in any crime and stressed on regular and surprise inspection of shops of arms-ammunition. Directing the DMs and SSPs to regularly inspect police stations, Ranjan asked for explanation from DMs of nine districts for not inspecting police stations. These districts are Bijnore, Moradabad, Kasganj, Kanpur Nagar, Hardoi, lakhimpur Khiri, Faizabad and Kushinagar. He said the CCTV cameras and jammers should also be installed in prisons to prevent the use of the mobile phone from inside the jail premises.
