Chidambaram: Poor Conditions ‘Dehumanize’ Police

    • Soon Chidambaram should answer for his illegal activities..

    • Nice work by WSJ! While Barkha and others discuss "important" social topics like "why Rushdie couldn't come to India" or "Pakistan's flourishing democracy", somebody seems to be focussing the attention on the right thing.

      Get your act together Indian media!

    • PC what do you mean by many encounters are genuine. Why is there even a single encounter that is not genuine?

      On improving the law enforcement why are you shifting the responsibility to state govts only? Why do you talk about setting up more agencies for checks and balances? Why not talk about what you have done for better information sharing and coordination between the different agencies.

      I expected better from you PC. This interview has been a downer, instead of focussing on what all you have done you are just playing the blame game. I do not get any confidence by reading this.

    • Ineffective police force is the bggest reason for most of the problems in our country - corruption, crime, terrorism etc can be effectively controlled by a desciplined police force.
      Honorable home minster has pointed out some of the fundamental problems afflicting the police - lack of proper housing, schooling for kids, low salary etc. Isn't it time for the government to tackle these basic issues? If expenses for these is an issue, some private participation could be envisaged - the vast majority of middle and upper class salaried individuals would surely be willing to contribute to some kind of fund that gets used for improving conditions in the police force. There should be a concerted effort to raise the living standards of the police, possibly briing it close to whatever is there in the Army etc.
      It is about time we recognised that internal security/peace is as important as handling any external threat.
