POLICE MAN SHOUD BE FINANCIALLY PROTECTED

The Indian Police Force was trained by the British Raj, with the twin objective of suppressing resistance to the Raj and protecting the interests of the propertied class. So they are hated by the common people.

It is a pity that a new method of training, in accordance with the democratic traditions, has not been thought of, even after sixty two years.

But the case of individual police man is pitiable. He and his family becomes bankrupt, in case he is killed or maimed.

It is necessary to provide insurance cover, if necessary by deducting money from his salary, so that his family will continue to get pension after his death. In case he is handicapped, he should be given alternate employment.

How can he face well armed and well trained terrorists or dedicated Maoists?

Only fully trained and well armed army personell should be deputed to fight terrorists and Maoists.
