SATISH HANDA
When Khatter government came to power second time in Haryana state last year Anil Vij was given charge of Home Minister in the state apart from health and sports he was having during previous tenure. Vij after taking charge on the very first day said ‘Gabbar is Back’. While having a look over public complaints registered with police in every district in the state it was observed that in 13 districts across the state there were more than 1000 FIRs lying unattended since a long time hanging on fire without any police investigation. Vij took matter seriously and warned head of all police stations and police posts across the state to look into the cases promptly and submit reports through SPs of every district. Information reveals that out of over 9500 pending FIRs action has already been taken in nearly 93% complaints and action on remaining 7% complaints is under fast process thus reforms in law and order in the state witnessed reforms, besides a friendly relationship between public and police.
Vij said, it was surprising for him to see that situation of cases registered in nearly 13 districts in the state, especially Faridabad and Gurugram was worst and majority of cases were found dumped in files without any action since a long time and Vij had to submit notices to Police Commissioner in these districts. He disclosed, the situation was worst in Faridabad and Gurugram districts and he was not satisfied with the disposal of cases in other districts including Yamunanagar, Kurukshetra, Karnal, Panipat, Hisar, Sirsa, Jind, Fatehabad, Rohtak, Sonepat and Bhiwani and took up matter with related SPs. which bought satisfactory results as such drastic fall in pending complaints was recorded in a short period, which were identified as 29387 cases lying pending in the state as on December 15, 2020 and most of these has now been solved at present.
According to state police department information, action has been taken over between 90-95% pending complaints registered at Ambala, Kurukshetra, Yamunanagar, Karnal, Kaithal, Rohtak, Hisar, Bhiwani, Fatehabad, Rewari, Gurugram, Jind, Jhajjar, Sonepat and Mewat districts. Similarly, between 96-99% complaints lying pending with police stations in Panipat, Hansi, Faridabad, Sirsa and Charkhi Dadri districts has already been attended. Anil Vij holding ‘open durbar’ before noon daily to listen public grievances and most of these are solved at the spot, which brought good results in police working all over in the state solving nearly 73% cases at police headquarter Panchkula, 20% cases lying at FSL Mahuban (Karnal), 77% cases at IG office Hisar, 91% cases at IG office Rohtak 81% cases at IG office Ambala, 87% cases at ADGP office Rewari, 96% cases at CP office Panchkula and 100% cases finalized n the offices of IG HAP, ADGP CID and ADGP Telecom in the state.
