From tech-driven investigation to police training, new Uttar Pradesh DGP lists his priorities
Newly appointed director general of police (DGP) Rajeev Krishna on Monday outlined his priorities, emphasising on police training, technology-driven investigation, a zero-tolerance policy against crime, women's safety and empowerment, besides improving police services as well as giving importance to police welfare. He also said stress will be on providing citizen-centric services. In his first interaction with the media at UP Police headquarters, new DGP Rajeev Krishna said there will be no compromise on law and order. The focus will be on taking strong action against organised crime, including cyber crime, he said. He also said women's safety and empowerment will be prioritised. Resolving public grievances and providing sensitive hearings will also be given importance, he said. 'There will be sensitive hearings of public grievances, and will ensure that Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are effective so that citizens' voices are heard,' he said, answering a question about concerns over the alleged insensitivity of some police officers. The new state police chief also spoke about the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in crime investigation and public welfare work as well as police training. 'AI will be a game-changer in crime investigation, police training and public welfare as well as optimised use of police infrastructure,' he said. The training of new police recruits and regular skill enhancement of the existing police personnel is also among the priorities, he said. Quality training of police personnel and refresher courses is mandatory, he said. He further said cybercrime is a significant problem. With the increased use of digital technology post-COVID-19, efforts will be made to utilise the latest technology to take action against cybercrime, he added. Police welfare will be a priority, and efforts will be made to identify and utilise the skills of talented police personnel effectively, he said. Krishna had proved his mettle after ensuring the smooth conduct of the mega police recruitment written examination involving 48,17,441 applicants, including 15 lakh women, with the use of AI enhancing security measures in August last year. This success helped the government bounce back from two back-to-back question paper leaks in February 2024. He used AI-enabled strong safeguards against any malpractice during the examination process and dismantled the plans of copying mafias and solver gangs.

Parl panel flag violations in land acquisition
The Parliamentary standing committee on rural development flagged blatant violations of the Land Acquisition Act of 2013 in cases where land was acquired by undermining the authority of gram sabhas, people familiar with the May 28 proceedings in New Delhi said . Underhanded techniques, such as using forged signatures to manufacture consent, remained a key focus of the panel, which discussed land acquisitions for infrastructure development and industrial purposes, such as for mining bauxite and iron ore, without the mandatory clearances of gram sabhas. The committee discussed in depth at least nine cases from Odisha involving serious violations affecting the forest rights of Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (OTFDs) in the implementation of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (RFCTLARR) Act, Land Acquisition Act and the Forest Rights Act intersect in several cases involving land acquisition in forested areas. 'In the last two-three years, many arbitrary decisions were taken on giving leases for bauxite mining in Kalahandi, Koraput, Rayagada districts and iron ore mining in Sundargarh and Keonjhar districts in Odisha. In all cases, the Land Acquisition Act 2013 was violated, where the governments had forcefully and fraudulently acquired lands across Fifth Schedule areas in the Constitution without the knowledge and consent of gram sabhas,' said a person part of the meeting. The standing committee recorded oral evidence from representatives of the department of land resources under the ministry of rural development on May 28, as well as from experts and other stakeholders, on the implementation and effectiveness of the Land Acquisition Act. The Act mandates prior and informed consent of the affected families, a social impact assessment before any rehabilitation, and importantly, the protection of the rights of vulnerable groups: members of Scheduled Tribes (STs) and OTFDs. The committee discussed at least nine instances of such violations across five districts in the state, including in Rairangpur in Mayurbhanj district, where in March this year, 43 tribal families' houses were bulldozed for an airstrip expansion project. '43 tribal families are living their daily life without proper rehabilitation. The district administration had issued a notice giving one month's time to vacate homes, but within six days of serving the said notice, their houses were bulldozed. A notice was issued to conduct a gram sabha, but it wasn't held. The land in question is grazing land where the villagers have been staying for more than 35 years…PMAY houses were constructed [in that land]…the villagers could have been consulted, and rehabilitation and proper compensation could have been offered till they agreed to shift for the expansion of one Air strip,' said a person part of the meeting, wishing anonymity. The person added that various Members of Parliaments (MPs) also pointed out that gram sabhas' consent was not taken as a norm across the country. The committee also discussed the fake gram sabhas allegedly held on December 8, 2023, for the diversion of forest lands for non-forest purposes in Rayagada and Kalahandi districts for bauxite mining in 10 villages. Another person part of the meeting said: 'None of villages where gram sabhas were allegedly held had any prior information about the proposals for forest diversion for the bauxite mines. However, we were told that the resolutions were fake, and it was shocking that gram sabhas were allegedly held on the same date and time across all the 10 villages and that the sarpanch or other government officials who have signed in gram sabha documents were also present in ten different places on the same time and date.' Officials present at the meeting told HT that the Ministry of Tribal Affairs had also sent a letter on this issue in March this year to the state government for a thorough examination. People aware of the matter said that inadequate compensation and rehabilitation under the Land Acquisition Act were also discussed in the meeting. 'The need for an immediate action from the central government for the implementation of all the special provisions under RFCTLARR Act 2013 for the rights of STs and other forest-dependent communities were also discussed,' said another official.

What powers do Delhi Assembly committees have? New rules set to define
The powers of Delhi Legislative Assembly Committees, which have been a sore point between the BJP and the AAP of late, will be 'defined' in the Rules of Procedure of the House, Speaker Vijender Gupta said Monday. Gupta also said that the language of the rules will be made gender neutral, since they only refer to members as 'he' at present. Another change is expected in the rules for Special Mention during Assembly sessions. Leader of Opposition Atishi had raised the issue regarding the powers of Assembly committees after the amendment to the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi Act in 2021, which curtails the power of these committees to look into day-to-day administration and administrative decisions. In a letter to Gupta, Atishi had said that the Public Accounts Committee does not have the power to look into the CAG reports because of the amendment. On Monday, Gupta said that the amendment did not affect the power of the Committees, and these will be defined in the new rules. 'The previous government misused committees. The amendments in the Act and how they impact the working of Committees will also be clarified in the rules,' he said. Talking about the other changes, Gupta said, 'Rules are being reviewed to be brought at par with rules in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. They will be made to follow best practices. The process has started, and the draft is ready. The first meeting of the Rules Committee will be held on June 5.' Speaking about the Special Mention, Gupta said that the rules are defined. 'It talks only about raising matters that are points of order. It is being used very casually at present. We will bring it in line with norms in Rajya Sabha,' he said. Deputy Speaker Mohan Singh Bisht added that for issues raised under Special Mention, officials would sometimes not respond. 'Now it will be ensured that questions are answered. If answers were wrong, there was no accountability. Next time onward, if questions are not answered by officials, they will be held accountable,' he said. Gupta, meanwhile, also said that a report of 100 days of the House will be released on June 6.
