THE DGP WHO ONLY TALKS.
By Aires Rodrigues.
Good and competent officers talk less. Goa’s DGP, Dr Aditya Arya, has been lecturing a lot but there has been no action on the ground.Having witnessed the DGP himself succumb to the political pulls and pressures, what else can we expect from his subordinates? I have hadfirst hand experience interacting with the DGP for no personal favours but over three issues in public interest.
On the case relating to the cheating of the State exchequer by two advocates the DGP assured me of immediate action. However thein structions he gave were to the contrary. If one cannot trust the DGP what can one expect from a constable? Similar was the fate of the complaint I filed against the Director of Prosecution for having caused financial loss to the State exchequer. I was also promised immediate action in the recovery of the Rs 4, 33, 200 from former IGPK.D.Singh’s for the repairs of the official car damaged by his son.That too has been shelved by the DGP for reasons best known.
On Sunday 16th October the DGP drove to Gokarn in Karnataka for the day with his official Innova vehicle without seeking prior permission of the State Government as was required when an officer leaves the State. He also misused his official vehicle on his day out on a picnic. Showing his men Singham and lecturing them on Gandhigiri may be an exercise in futility. Five months is long enough to judge the credibility, honesty and competence of an officer. Mr. DGP, you have failed the test. Will the people of Goa extend Dr Arya’s period of probation. I would not.
