House panel wants police to abolish orderly system
Vishwa Mohan,TNN | Apr 29, 2013, 03.26AM IST
NEW DELHI: A parliamentary panel wants the government to completely abolish the 'orderly system' — posting of low-ranking cops (mainly constables) as orderlies at residences of senior police officers — from police forces.
Maintaining that the orderly system affected the morale of police personnel who are trained to do regular policing jobs, the parliamentary standing committee on home has asked the Centre to issue a "mandatory direction" to all heads of forces including Delhi Police to not use any security personnel or police personnel as drivers, washermen, cooks, attendants or peons.
The committee, in its report tabled in Parliament on April 25, said, "The Centre should set up an example by compliance of such mandatory directions so that the states can follow it."
The recommendation by the panel - headed by BJP member in Rajya Sabha M Venkaiah Naidu and comprising 28 other MPs from different political parties - assumes significance at a time when the country urgently needs trained manpower in big numbers for law and order duties and other core policing jobs including crime investigation.
If the government acts upon the committee's recommendation, it will spare thousands of trained hands for actual policing jobs at a time when the country faces a shortage of over 5.39 lakh police personnel. As against the sanctioned strength of 21.24 lakh police personnel, states and Union Territories (UTs) collectively have just 15.85 lakh police personnel - leaving the remaining over five lakh posts vacant.
While making the pitch for abolishing the orderly system, the committee, however, suggested that the government should sanction posts of cooks, drivers and attendants separately, if at all these 'helps' were required to be posted for the convenience of senior police officers.
The Second Administrative Reforms Commission (ARC) and the 6th Pay Commission too had earlier recommended abolition of 'orderly system' but the government failed to implement it. Although the system has been abolished in some states, most of them still practice it through backdoor by attaching constables for screening visitors, attending telephone calls and delivering urgent messages..................http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Repository/ml.asp?Ref=VE9JTS8yMDEzLzA0LzI5I0FyMDEwMDI=&Mode=Gif&Locale=english-skin-custom
