Need To Allocate Funds Fear Modernization Of Police In West Bengal. on 4 August, 2016
Sixteenth Loksabha an> Title: Need to allocate funds fear modernization of police in West Bengal.
SHRIMATI APARUPA PODDAR (ARAMBAG): Sir, police modernization has been taken out from the list of Centrally-funded schemes. West Bengal mainly suffers in Jungle Mohal and in hilly areas due to lack of Central funds. Chandrakona in Paschim Mednipur district partly comes in the Jungle Mohal area which falls in my parliamentary constituency, Arambag which consists of people from weaker sections.
Since national security is dependent on police modernization, the Central Government has to allocate funds to the State Government. West Bengal should be given full ‘A’ category status. The hon. Chief Minister has already written requesting for allocation of funds. Hence, I urge the hon. Prime Minister to instruct the Home Ministry to act upon this demand and do the needful for the betterment of public.
