Dear friend,
Come 8th 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?
