Proceedings of the Legislative Council of the United Provinces Saturday 21st March 1925

1925

Now there are 46 police districts in these provinces and at the present moment the Deputy Inspector-General of the first range has 16 the Deputy Inspector-General of the second range' has 16 and the Deputy InspectoGeneral of the third range has 14 but these latter 14 districts include the large district of Gorakhpur and the important districts of Benares A llahabad and Cawnpore. [...] Now coming to the functions that have been handed over to the Deputy Inspectors-General I want to point out to the House that one of the functions which as now been transferred to the Deputy Inspectors-General is the control over crimes of serious nature which used to be reported to the Inspector-General of Police. [...] That being the position do the honourable members of this Council imagine that the weakening of the police in higher appointments would lead to the preservaticn of peace and order ? My friend the honourable member for Bulandshahr talked very placidly about the utter uselessness of the 'Deputy Inspectors-General of Police. [...] We have had too ample proof of the extreme value of the work of the Deputy Inspector-General in recent years particularly in connection with outbreaks of dacoities We have found again and again that the Deputy Inspector-General goes down to the district examines the work and finds out what is the real cause of the outbreak. [...] Pandit Nanak Chand : Is the honourable member aware that in the presidencies of Bengal Madras and Bombay there is the special feature of presidency police and in the case of the Punjab_ The Hon'ble the President : It seems to me that the honourable member wishes to arrogate to himself the right of making several speeches in the course of each debate.
