Welcome to the feast !

A quote from NOIDA Police web site will explain why this meeting is a ‘feast’

Words of wisdom …

“Police and Public are the two participants in the system. They should meet each other half way – only then, the encounter becomes a feast…….

From

www.noidapolice.com

…..The mission of Noida Police Force is to ensure that the resultant outcome of the interaction between Police and Public is positive and their synergy leads to overall social benefit. ”

Tons of thanks …

For living up to the promise and coming the ‘half way’



Many thanks … To the officers from



UP Police



And some special thanks is due… For facilitating this ‘half way meeting’

  

GREATER NOIDA At a glance

   

Established in 1991 Notified area of 36,000 Ha 5,000 Ha already urbanized Population



Present – around 1.5 Lac (expected figure by 2006 was 3 Lac )



By 2011 – 7 Lac



By 2021 – 12 Lac ( Current population of G B Nagar Dist)

GREATER NOIDA USP…as claimed…



Green and Clean environment



Infrastructure – lot of planning has been done



Is the golden chance of developing an ultramodern city being wasted ?

GREATER NOIDA No shortage of plans…



Fast growing city



Plans alone will not do… has to be followed up with sincere action



Needs an approach which is more pro active and citizen friendly

GREATER NOIDA But enough commitment ???

Lacks focus in the all important areas of PPP



POWER



PUBLIC TRANSPORT



POLICING And all 3 contribute to overall security in the City

GREATER NOIDA Losing Focus ???

Privatized power supply



Concept is good



Privatization without competition – A disaster for the consumers

GREATER NOIDA Losing Focus ???



Authority funded buses …the yellow revolution



Failing miserably



Totally lacking professionalism and accountability

GREATER NOIDA Present Scenario : Security 

Ineffective Private Security Guards



Patrolling is only for the name sake



Booths installed at roundabouts went missing long time back

GREATER NOIDA Present Scenario : Security 

Less populated sectors are almost neglected by Police Example :

 

Knowledge Parks Omega, Phi, Builders Area



Pi, Rho, Sigma , Swarna Nagri…

GREATER NOIDA Present Scenario : Security 

Nights are scary on the roads in the absence of enough PPP



Factors making life vulnerable



Lack of a decent Public Transport



Absence of enough Police Patrol



Non functional street lights

GREATER NOIDA Present Scenario : Crime    

Auto Lifting from markets, sectors and even from roads Snatching of bags, mobiles etc Thefts happening in houses, mainly locked ones As population is very less, only possible deterrent is deploying more police on the streets and market areas

GREATER NOIDA Present Scenario : Traffic 

No check on traffic violations



Driving on the service roads is mostly in the wrong direction



No control on Speed , especially on the service roads

GREATER NOIDA Police Stations

  

Presently 4 Stations – Greater NOIDA, Kasna, Surajpur and Dhankore None of the urban residential sectors come under the station named after the city They come under Kasna Police station which is not in Kasna but in Beta II !

NOIDA POLICE Web site



Excellent and professionally done layout



Very little Information about Greater NOIDA sectors



Focus seems to be only on NOIDA



Shouldn’t it be renamed as Gautam Budh Nagar Police site ?

Some humble suggestions    

Rename Kasna Police Station as Greater NOIDA City Police station and make it a model station Complete computerization – CIPA Deploying Electronic surveillance like CCTV cameras Online complaint section on the web site needs to be more comprehensive



Complaint ID

 

Future follow up Status of past complaints should be visible to General Public

More suggestions…    

Patrolling to be improved, specially during nights Set up a 24 hr call centre with centralized information like Phone numbers of Station Officers and Patrol vans Accessing call centre via toll free lines from anywhere should be possible Call centre should register public complaints

And a few more suggestions 

Patrolling on Express highway should be more efficient. .especially in nights



Vehicles crossing the central verge along Express way to be punished



Giving fixed tenure to Station Officers



More Police-Citizen interactions

And finally the time to say …

THANK YOU
