North East claims to have a louder voice in New Delhi in the
NaMo regime because of the emphasis of the NaMo Govt on ‘Act East policy’. To a
bigger extent the assumption is closer to the reality as well. On various developmental fronts, NE has got much more
importance but while interacting with Indianmandarins several members of North
East residing in New Delhi underlined an interesting administrative aspect
which often goes un-noticed in the echelons of power. When Indianmandarins started digging out information it was
found that approx 10 senior UT cadre IPS officers are serving in Delhi Police
but hardly any of them get important assignment in field operations. Rather,
most of them are employed/deployed in Training, VIP Security, Delhi Armed
Police which are considered less important. In police administration, assignments like Crime, Law &
Order, Economic Offence Wing, Licencing and Traffic are considered to be more
important but none of the officers from NE are presently deployed in these areas.
Rather, going by the data it appears that there has been a long practice of
ignoring them for ‘so-called main postings’ like L&o, Crime, EoW etc. For instance the list goes as follows; Those who underlined these aspect also said that even in the
name of modern HR practices and perception management or for the sake of giving
due importance to Act East policy, IPS officers belonging to North East should
have been given a little more space in a few important field postings which
would have sent out messages across. But unfortunately, while interacting with Indianmandrins,
they forgot to underline several examples wherein many NE States often show
less appetite for giving important field postings to IAS, IFoS and IPS
officer’s native of outside NE Region. Terming the cases as examples of discrimination would
certainly be the over simplification of facts but this something which draws attention.
