Dear friend,

Come 8^th march and we all  hear much of hue & cry from all quarters of Government boasting of government's endless efforts to ensure safe environment for women of Uttar Pradesh.  Akhilesh too has always been seen & heard seconding this stand of government. On the eve of Women's day,the big question is whether all such tall claims by our government are true or not and also as to whether these are based on facts & figures or are just based on whims & fancies of some sycophant officers & politicians of our state who are leaving no stone unturned to befool the real rulers i.e. U n me?

 

 

To adjudge the actual situation, I thought UTTAR PRADESH STATE WOMEN COMMISSION data could be an important indicator  of crime-against-women situation in UP.

 

 

On 16-12-13, I shot off a 11 point RTI to UPSWC. Through this RTI I demanded information on no. of cases reported, no. of cases disposed, no. of cases that turned into registering of FIRs etc. Also to know the change brought by Akhilesh in this arena , I thought to compare the previous Maya Government and present Akhilesh Government,so I asked data for  last 21 months of Maya Government & for first 21 months of Akhilesh Government.

 

The information furnished by UPSWC  vide letter no. 5364 dated 17-01-14 reveals an increase of 9205 cases during Akhilesh's regime. This translates into a 23% increase in Women harassment cases as reported in UPSWC.

 

 

The data  reveals that during 21 months of Akhilesh govt. , UPWC received 49265 cases and disposed off  13429 cases only i.e. @ 27% disposal rate as compared to 40060 cases received and 28952 cases disposed off by UPWC during last 21 months of Maya govt i.e. @ 72% disposal rate.

 

The data also reveals that during 21 months of Akhilesh govt. , UPWC could dispose-off 13429 cases as compared to 28952 cases disposed by UPWC during last 21 months of Maya govt. This means a decrease of disposal by 15523 cases which translates into 54% decrease of diposed cases  in Akhilesh  govt.

 

Contrary to popular belief that Women Commission helps the victims in their fight against crime till it reaches its logical ends, UPWC has revealed that it neither helps in registration of FIRs in cases reported with it nor does it keep any record of registration of FIRs on cases reported with it.

 

Isn't is enough to prove that like other commissions this Women Commission too is nothing but only a White Elephant and a Burdon on state's exchequer.

 

I am going to launch a campaign to ensure time-bound relief to the applicants of UPWC , to make it mandatory for UPWC to keep tab on registration of FIRs on its cases and  also ensure follow-ups on thus registered FIRs.

 

 

I would like Akhilesh to come out of ring of sycophants as suggested by his father Mulayam Singh, start acting like a professional engineer also also to rely only on  fact-based scientific studies to give to UP what it wants from its governments.

 

 

Inauguration do no good to public. Do they?
