Election Commission ne West Bengal mein ek aur bada reshuffle kar diya hai. Commission ne 11 IPS officers ka transfer kiya hai. Is list mein Kolkata Police ke teen Joint Commissioners ke naam bhi hain. Sabse badi baat yeh hai ki Kolkata Police ko 16 mahine baad ek naya Joint Commissioner of Crime mil gaya hai.

Kolkata Police Ka Naya Joint CP Crime Kaun Hai?

Election Commission ke is order ke mutabiq, Kolkata Police ko naya Joint Commissioner of Crime mila hai. Yeh post 16 mahine se khali thi. Prabhat Khabar ke report mein yeh clearly bataya gaya hai. Is transfer se pehle, yeh important post vacant tha, jiska matlab tha ki crime department ke upar koi senior officer directly nazar nahi rakh raha tha.

Kaun Kaun Se Officers Transfer Hue?

Transfer kiye gaye officers mein Kolkata Police ke teen Joint Commissioners shamil hain. Iska matlab hai ki city ke police force ke top leadership mein badlav aaya hai. Amar Ujala ki report ke mutabiq, Commission ne Kolkata ke kai police stations ke officers-in-charge ka bhi transfer kiya hai. Yeh sab transfers election se pehle kiye gaye hain.

Election Commission Ka Action Kyon?

Yeh koi pehla action nahi hai. Election Commission pichle kuch hafton se West Bengal mein officers ki posting badal raha hai. Jagran ki ek report ke mutabiq, Commission ne pehle hi 13 IAS officers ka reshuffle kar diya tha aur 11 districts ke District Magistrates ko badla tha. Iska maksad yeh hota hai ki election process impartial aur fair tareeke se ho.

Police department mein bhi isse pehle badlav aaye hain. Jagran ki ek alag report ke mutabiq, Rajeev Kumar ki jagah Piyush Pandey ko Bengal ka naya acting DGP banaaya gaya tha. DD News ne bhi confirm kiya ki Election Commission ne Siddh Nath Gupta ko West Bengal ka naya DGP appoint kiya tha.

Hamaari Baat: Election Time Ka Standard Practice Hai, Lekin...

Seedhi baat karein toh, election se pehle officers ka transfer Election Commission ka standard practice hai. Commission chahta hai ki koi bhi officer ek jagah par itna time na bitaaye ki uski local politics se familiarity ya bias ban jaaye. Isliye neutral officers ko important posts par lagaya jaata hai.

Lekin, hamari nazar mein, ek important point hai. Kolkata Police ke Joint CP Crime ka post 16 mahine se khali tha. Yeh ek serious administrative lapse tha. Crime department ke upar koi senior supervision nahi tha itne lambe time tak. Election Commission ka action is vacancy ko toh bhar dega, lekin sawal yeh hai ki aise important posts pehle hi kyun khali chhod diye jaate hain? Administration ka kaam hai ki aisi posts pe constant vigilance rahe. Election time par hi in gaps ko bharne ki zaroorat nahi honi chahiye. Voters ko bhi sochna chahiye ki jo force unki rozana security ke liye zimmedar hai, uske top posts agar khali padhe hain toh wo kaise kaam karegi? Election ke baad bhi in posts par dhyaan dena chahiye.
