Lucknow. The Yogi Adityanath government is going to take another strong step to create more control over crime and criminals in Uttar Pradesh. After Lucknow and Gautam Buddha Nagar, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has now decided to implement Police Commissioner system in Kanpur city, which is called the economic capital of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s parliamentary constituency, Varanasi and the state.
This system came into force on 13 January 2020 in Lucknow and Gautam Budh Nagar, after which 14 months later, police commissioners will also be posted in Kanpur and Varanasi. 34 police stations of Kanpur and 18 urban areas of Varanasi have been divided, which will be under the Police Commissioner system. The 11 police station areas included in Kanpur city will now be a part of Kanpur Outer. At the same time, 10 police stations of Varanasi will now be part of Varanasi Rural.
In these two cities also, the police officers will also have about 14 administrative rights to the magistrate. After the famous Bikeru scandal, big questions were raised on the law and order and the functioning of the police. Since then, the discussion about the implementation of the Police Commissioner system in Kanpur started gaining momentum. Recently, after the review of Lucknow and Gautam Buddha Nagar, there were meaningful results of the implementation of the police commissioner system, after which it was clear that this system will be expanded to other big cities. It is believed that in the third phase, the police commissioner system can be implemented in Gorakhpur and Ghaziabad.
It is noteworthy that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had put a stop to January 13 last year to demand the implementation of police commissioner system in major cities of the state for the last nearly 50 years. Now the Chief Minister has taken a step towards expansion of this system to other cities.
