Mansa—regarded among the most backward districts of Punjab—now has a reason to smile. The district has been adjudged the best among the total of 25 commissionerates/districts of the state in a police performance test.
At the same time, Bathinda—a district which takes much pride in being addressed as the adopted turf of the ruling Badals —stood just a step away from the bottom by securing 24th rank in the list of 25 commissionerates/districts.
Issuing an e-letter, the Director General of Police, Punjab, recently announced the results of the performance appraisal report of the commissionerates/districts for the period from July 1-September 30 this year.
The test was of 100 marks, out of which Mansa scored 66.4 marks, followed by another backward district Barnala which got 63.5 marks.
The report is not worth flaunting for the police of Shaheed Bhagat Nagar (Nawan Shahar) district as they could score only 46 marks and remained at the last position.
Meanwhile, Bathinda and Tarn Taran stood at 24th and 23rd position, scoring 47.2 and 47.6 marks, respectively.
There were 20 factors in the test, which not only the senior police officials of the state but also a private agency considered, for the above said period.
According to information, crime control, detection, investigations, preventive measures, detection of old cases, public services like passport verification etc were among the main points on which the performance of the cops was minutely monitored.
Besides, custodial deaths, custodial torture, violation of human rights, were also the important points considered before awarding points to any police district.
Speaking to The Tribune, an elated SSP Mansa, Hardial Singh Mann said the district police would do its best to maintain the position as it was a matter of pride for all of them.
“I will now recommend to the DGP, Punjab, to issue appreciation letters to all gazzetted rank (GO) officials. Besides, I will write for the awarding of commendation certificates class-I to all SHOs, Class-II for all NGOs and Class-II for the other ranks,” the Mansa SSP said.
