Trends in Terrorism:
One shall first feel to understand as to the trends in terrorism, naxalism, and all other types of agitational / imitational approach which tentatively start with peace, non violence, but in course of time tend toward violence, etc; why we are having this type of matters in India and abroad; why the government is striving hard to establish anti-terrorism cooperation movements, organizations, to tackle and deal with most of the homegrown leaders and groups; With sophisticated technology and weapons, spread of intelligence and passage, transformation from one to one, even by over –laying the traps, found to have enriched the Terror-Organization in building up their net work system and codifications;
It seems they have grownup their own incredulousness behaviors towards government assurances, and making the youngsters to believe in their ideologies, structures and payments, and there by drag them into their threshold, utilize them as its scape-goats on the given occasion; there may be instant, vigorous training to them in phases ,with changing them towards their ideologies, motivation, propaganda, lure with finance, and win-win-thoughts inserted in their minds, which in subsequent years, for them, may not be of that easy to come back to peaceful and ordinary life-span; exploit them to ward their ideologies and exploit them to work for them; all types of grave criminal and insurgent acts follows;
They found to be aiming at transportation systems, like the railways, roadways, easily accessible spots, tourists spots, hotels, temples/masques, and the like, wherein the most suffers are the public and the government’s property and economy.
The selection of the spot is found to be well organized with rikkies, rehearsals, watch-outs, identifying the individual areas, timings, movements, and a lot; may be with small group, friendly moments, no conflicts, no exposure, silent, gain sympathy with their words and wisdom, and the like; it may be for business purpose, the advertisements and the scrolling which are coming up in the home-grown net-work systems, News media advertisements, etc., also may by and large help them in time to time communication through modified/self-propelled codes of words and citations. Thus, the old systems of cipher codes and other modes have been supplanted, and supplemented with their own versions and inventions to suit to the occasions, which the Task Force, the Anti-Terror Organizations, the Intelligence found to be not getting the required clue in time to avert the incident before it actually takes place.
They might have formulated a well designed Organizational set up with clarity in division of responsibilities and workmanship with some definite directions and orders for taking up the task of on the spot/independent decision making without awaiting further instructions from higher cadre, like Operational independence and run-through tactical formations/directions. Unlike the police forces personnel get-up and structure, steadiness, behavior, even hair cut and walking-styles, they might be trained to be like that of other wise ordinary persons of the local people and having the best of the best knowledge on and over the topography of the Arena where they are posted /for the job assigned task, with all tactical performance to fool the other and avoid detection, suspicion etc. They may be having their own customized identifications to know each other and assigned task; they may not be having differential equations and no difference of opinions and they may not allowed to change/exchange their given job work.
Many of the international organizations studies on this matter found to have given good results in tackling the terrorism. The recruitment process, a top secret process to make the incumbent with radicalization, mobilization, training, trust-proof-relationship training/experimental tests on them, authentication with 100% leak proof and exuberant payments/advance payments, selection of the suicide persons may be some others personified workmanship with out identification from amongst known persons/groups. \
They may even adopt win-win over them, their families with lure of money and other requirements in the absence of the person going to be chosen by them and the imagination that they may even satisfy the families to extent possible not to worry about this kith and kin for some decades as they will look after them in all requirements. It may be like that of the IPL –purchase of the player on bidding and auction by the company to play for them. They being hybrid trained workers shall become ready to for any sacrifice/like suicide bombers and the like or for thing for the cause of the Organization. Without any suspicion, they may become the intruders in the schools/colleges; hotels, tourism guides, tourists, petty workman, lower/middle managers,-work for the organization as external, internal to get the matter conceived, well planned for operational execution with out even their colleagues knowledge. Their job work may be different as regards to qualitative and or quantitative assignments.
DIVISION OF RESPONSIBILITY BETWEEN THE RPF AND THE GRP-VIS-À-VIS RAILWAY PROPERTY, PASSENGER AREA AND THE PASSENGERS OVER INDIAN RAILWAYS SYSTEM:(V. Seshadri, ASC/RPF/Retired,Published in the All India Retired Raiwaymens'Frederatin(AIRRF),
ReplyDeleteMagazine- 'FEDERATION NEWS'-SEP-Oct,2011 ISSUE;The Preamble of the RPF Act,envisaged that the RPF is constituted and maintained for the better protection and security of railway property, passenger area and passengers and for matters connected therewith. Likewise, the Preamble of the RP (UP) Act does state –‘an Act to consolidate and amend the law relating to unlawful possession of railway property. By this, it confines its parameters to that of ‘railway property’ alone as defined in the Law. The ‘railway property’ definition nevertheless does not include ‘the passenger area and passengers’ or ‘the offence(s) committed and/or connected therewith’. It may be observed that as contained in section 3 of the RPF Act, that the RPF is constituted and maintained for better protection and security of railway property. By this exclusion of specific and desired words ‘passenger area and passengers’, from within the section 3, the ambit and scope of the RPF has been substantially curtailed and in my considered opinion there are no authority and powers to deal any of the cases falling within the meaning of passenger area and passengers or their belongings, like theft of passenger’s luggage, assaults and other offences falling within the IPC section ,and emphatically, even if they (RPF) apprehend any culprit or recover such property belonging to the Passengers, in the course of their duties, they have to, invariably, forward the case to the GRP (Government Railway Police) with their Report for further necessary action ( Case registration/FIR, and Investigation ). This excludes the RPF from registration of any FIR even if they detect such type of cases. Thus, the very purpose, proposed /for ‘better protection and security’ of the passenger area and passengers’ as expected by the Legislation is found to have been defeated. At the most the RPF is to be treated as the Assisting Force of the GRP.In this context, to make rail journey safer and secure to the 12 million people including the tourists who are making use of the rail services every day, one shall not forget the speech and the vision of the (Former) Hon'ble President of India, Dr. A. P.J. Abdul Kalam while presenting President's Colours to the RPF on 22nd May, 2006 containing certain valuable observations and suggestions to the, Government of India, the Ministry of Railways, the Railway Board, the RPF, which include: 1.The need to remove the division of responsibility between the Government Railway Police (GRP) and Railway Protection Force (RPF);2.For empowering the RPF with legal powers to tackle all cognizable offences under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Special Acts so that there is a single point of responsibility for tackling crimes against railway passengers. In this connection as a reference-kindly go through the Articles published in monthly Magazine" Indian Railways"-PRESIDENT OF INDIA PRESENTS PRESIDENTIAL COLOURS TO RAILWAY PROTECTION FORCE JULY 2006); and, V.Seshadri’s -Article - “(THE MISSING DIMENSIONS ON SECURITY AND SAFETY OF PASSENGER-A POINT OF VIEW-JUNE-2007). From the above it can be seen that the views and vision of Former Hon’ble President of India had paved the way for reconciliation on this matter and the Committee (the 14th Lok Sabha, date 8-12-2009 also made recommendations for more powers to RPF…There shall be a day, in future, which is still awaited and eager to celebrate over the Railway's System when there can be only one Police Force and not TWO as we see today and have a unified single ‘Uniformed Indian Railway Police Force- exclusively for the Indian Railways System’ to deal all the matters of ‘railway property, passenger area, and passengers, and the matters connected there with. *****
SENIOR CITIZEN- OLD AGE – A BLESSING OR A DOOM--THE DEVINE MOTHER-(V.Seshadri, ASC/RPF/Retd,Published in the All India Retired Raiwaymens' Frederatin(AIRRF),
ReplyDeleteMagazine-FEDERATION NEWS-JAN-FEB-2012' ISSUE;There is a saying--" Those who know the mother, knows the world”. The new generation having multifold engorged education, the corporate company’s offer of employment, significant amounts of pay and perks, which the third/fourth batting generation cannot even, imagine except feeling happy. But, that is not the end; it is the beginning, where the predicament of the senior citizens starts, here at this juncture. But, alas, what about their care and well being taken up by their children in these days when we all celebrate ‘Parents Day’; Mother’s Day’ and of course, ‘Father’s Day’, ‘Mother-in-law’s Day’, and so on.In general, it is found that their son / (s) are not in a position to talk to their parents-in particular with his mother; they find no time to visit to the mother’s house, even during holidays, festivals or other festivities with preoccupied activities. Just think and imagine the feelings of the old/ aged persons, who happen to live separately or away from their son(s) on one or the other cause.Their offerings of excuses in not getting some time to visit and see the parents or the mother include weighty and excruciating job work, over time, late sittings at job work, or that they are not in a position to spare time to come from their place of residence. The comments of the neighborhood, the relations, and of the friends at this old age found to be unbearable to them. They may make out all sorts of excuses and explanations by supporting their son’s absence. But, the mental agony of the parents, their untold feelings, sleepless nights cannot be brought out through pen. Their swallowing of the expressions to cover up their inner feelings, the Atmaxobha and eyes always searching for their son and to listen to him are all found be a like night vision in dark or the night mare. The gargantuan money they possess, the relations they had, the friends, the authority, the power and the status they had, all these have found to be not coming to their rescue in replacing the sons’ presence with them, at the time of need. The old age homes, other’s counseling’s, at home celebrations on the visit of relations, friends etc, will they be of any help to them from making them to feel happy or to come out of their depressions? I felt that no person can recognize, replace, establish or detect the feelings of the Mother.Causes may be many, but effect is the same on the senior citizens. No smothering words can help in distracting their eyes eagerly looking at the gate side, ears wanting to hear his voice of affection and love. I feel to commiserate with them; what the sin the Mother might have committed to loose all the love and affection from the son - what ever may be the reason- the separation and living away is as true as that of the wind and beyond doubt.With all the above regurgitates and surmises, still I have a belief that he, the son(s), for the parents is a person with sanity and still did not loose love and affection toward his mother, then why and how the situations can be changed and what is the solution to resolve the matter. I have no answer, but, now, at this age, when she requires a helping hand and counseling the same is missing from her son.Fortune favours the deserving…: Patience Pays….But. At what stage.
