Always looks like, Green across banks..!!!

Sometimes, rarely sometimes, I used to think, should I change from my present profession to the Police Service. There are options for changing to State Police with same rank or to IPS Cadre with one rank down. It is not for the Pay or the satisfaction, for the first doesn’t amuse me much, while as of the second, I am more than Satisfied. But for, Respect.

Don’t mistake me, for my present profession, is deemed to be very high, for they both are not compared only. But by ‘respect’, I mean the power, Recognition. So very rarely, I used to think of switching. Few instances/news now and then would make me to shy off from such thoughts, but a recent incidence has confirmed my thought of staying with ‘the Organisation’.

It was a function to dedicate the statue of the ‘Indian Architect’ to the Nation. A state CM, who happens to be the senior most ‘serving’ Politician, Minister, who is in charge of the Law and a thorough gentleman holding the office as CJI were present there to witness the outbreak of few segments of a particular entity of the society. Due to the outbreak of violence, the available articles became weapons and were flying across with speed of BrahMos. In the scene is the DGP, TN, stranded and totally taken to the task personally. DGP, means a rank equivalent to the Head of one Arm/Service of an armed Force, contained with Power and reach inside a state. Look at the pathetic state rendered to a DG.., DG of the fifth largest state Police?? Should I be in my Uniform, and if it happens to be my responsibility, I am sure, no more BrahMos would have been launched. I am not saying regarding the qualifications of the DG, but of the state, the Officer heading a State Police Organisation, has been placed. The Officer would surely not have been aware what to do, what not to do. Thank God, I am never in this kind of situations. To be heading an Organisation, without knowing what to do, shouting, ‘Hoi’, and letting people do atrocities in front of your uniformed eye, is not my baby. I am happy, I have not switched.
