URGENT NEED FOR APPOINTING — “INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATIONS AUDITOR”
30032014URGENT NEED FOR APPOINTING — “INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATIONS AUDITOR” FOR AUDIT OF INVESTIGATIONS CONDUCTED BY INVESTIGATING OFFICERS.
We at POLICE WATCH INDIA are pretty aware about the fact that how much toll taking is the embarrassment that the Police Chiefs & other Senior Police Officers have to bear as a result of the stricture like cognizance taken by the Judiciary (on & off record) of the I.O.s Non-Investigations, Superficial, Shoddy & Shady Investigations and the otherwise callous & inhuman approach shown by them towards their duties as assigned to them.
OR — IS IT THAT SENIOR POLICE OFFICERS TOO HOOT CARE ABOUT THIS HEINOUS DOWN TO EARTH REALITY BECAUSE IT DOES NOT AFFECT THEM & THEIR KITH & KIN???????
To put an end to this menace it is advised that INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATIONS AUDITORS be appointed by all Police Departments in all the States as well as at the Home Ministers Office at the Central Government level as also at the Judiciary level.
The Work Profile of the INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATIONS AUDITOR in brief should be as follows : -
To audit the Investigations conducted by Police Departments, the Vigilance Departments of the Police Departments and to review their policies and procedures with respect to Criminal Investigations.
To look at things such as tactics. It’s the job of the Independent Investigations Auditor to make recommendations about changes in Police Departments’ policies and procedures, as regards Criminal & other Investigations conducted by them.
Will be involved in reviewing the trigger happy shootings, police performance, and how their Vigilance Department investigates complaints against Police Officers/Personnel themselves.
Review their investigations and databases and look carefully at the numbers. How many complaints are sustained, how many aren’t & why, what type of discipline is issued, and how often. Is it appropriate discipline? These are the types of things that will be looked into.
There is this huge push for change i.e. all expressing a need for change. The Central and State Governments coming in as well. The Police Chiefs who understand and are experiencing the need for change want to have change, and they would want confidence levels on the part of citizens to soar in their respective Police Departments. The huge momentum for change is there, for something special and positive.
Well that is going to be the goal of oversight….transparency. So that there is someone besides just those in the department looking at the investigations and looking at all of the functions on a daily basis. To review and critique the investigations and to tell the public through unbiased reports whether or not the police investigations were thorough and complete.
The Investigations Auditor will show the Investigating Officers how he is going to critique them, to get their input as well. It won’t be just a one-way street, as the Investigations Auditor will be letting them know how he is going to critique them by using their own rules and regulations. He will be going to go out to the scene of the crimes; from start to finish. See the evidence as it lies there. See the crime scene; hear what the initial story is about and what supposedly happened.
Lastly, see the complete investigation and then be able to tell the public & others about it.
That a consent decree between the Investigations Auditor & the Police Chiefs will govern & basically outline the duties of the Investigations Auditor as well as what to do on a day-to-day basis. There will be requirements of the police department as well as requirements of the Police Chiefs office that he will have to meet. The consent decree is all about compliance and reports that show the level of compliance.
It all will revolve around trust. The trust that others can count on the Independent Investigations Auditor to do what has been said and does it without any bias and/or prejudice. He won’t be a talking head or in cahoots with the Police Department. People should know that he will be independent of the police department and will be hard in critiquing them. He shall be straightforward and want complete & proper investigations conducted so that guilty don’t go unpunished.
The police department will have to trust him in what he writes to them. The Police Chiefs & their subordinates will need to be able to trust him and say yes. Lastly, the department should be able to relate to him. The Independent Investigations Auditor should never have any problem talking with anyone at any level. The Independent Investigations Auditor shall have nothing to hide in this process, and would want the Police Chiefs to know exactly what he is doing so he can shine a brighter light on that process.
The maximum time within which the Independent Investigations Auditor shall give his findings shall be 3 (Three) months & there shall be no provision for extension of time for any reason whatsoever.
The JUDGES OF THE TRIAL COURTS & HIGHER COURTS could also obtain the services of The Independent Investigations Auditor where ever it deemed necessary by them for the purpose of fair & just deliverance of Justice to the Aggrieved.
The selfless work of the Independent Investigations Auditor would eventually bring glory to the Police Departments as well as restore the trust & confidence levels of the Police Chiefs & their Subordinates in the eyes of the “AAM AADMI”.
IT IS IMPERATIVE TO ENSURE AT ALL COSTS THAT THE “INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATIONS AUDITOR” IS NOT A PRESENT OR PAST MEMBER OF ANY POLICE FORCE OR ANY OTHER LAW ENFORCING AGENCY.
The “Independent Investigations Auditor” should be one who understands the psyche of police personnel, their weak & strong points, knows the fundamentals of investigations & investigation procedures & techniques, has reasonably good knowledge of all types of laws & to that extent need not necessarily be a lawyer.

GATEFORUM students shine in GATE 2014
30032014
Delhi & NCR, 29th March 2014: The results of Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE’14) have been announced yesterday. Aditya Reddy, Director GATEFORUM said that the students of GATEFORUM have performed exceedingly well in the test. From the results obtained so far, GATEFORUM students Ankit Goyal has got All India Rank 1 in Electrical Engineering, Shubham Singh has got All India Rank 1 in Mechanical Engineering.
From the NCR Region, Atul Mishra, from Faridabad, has secured All India Rank 16 in Instrumentation Engineering, Gaurav Malik, from Ghaziabad, has secured All India Rank 19 in Instrumentation Engineering, and Abhinav Bansal, from Delhi, has secured All India Rank 20 in Mechanical Engineering.
GATE 2014 examination was conducted for the first time in computer based mode for all the papers this year. The number of students taking the test in GATE 14 was 8,89,156 which is about 10 % lower than 9,84,855 students who appeared in GATE 13. The decrease in test takers can be attributed to a significant drop of female candidates in GATE 14. One reason for the drop is that there was no application fee for female candidates in GATE 13 while there was a fee of Rs 750 in GATE 14 for them.
Apart from admission to post graduate programs in IITs, NITs and other engineering colleges in India, GATE score is used by many Public Sector Undertakings for recruitment of fresh graduate engineers. GATE 2014 exam was conducted from 2nd February to 2nd March, 2014 over 3 weekends.

Existing power projects could have been operating at much higher load.

When asked why in the last couple of months the government has been
hasty with projects, Ramesh said, “When we take time and deliberate on
decisions it is policy paralysis, but when we actually take decisions
it is being hasty,” he said. Earlier during the discussion he had
reiterated the same points saying, “India is a peculiar country, you
are damned if you clear projects, you are damned if you don’t.”

right to health as we are promising in 2014,” he said.
When asked if the Congress was trying to appease minorities he said,
“The Congress is not appeasing the minorities but only protecting
them. In our country secularism means respect for all religions.
Secularism is fulfilling constitutional obligations. In our country
secularism does not mean irreligion, but respecting all religions.”
