\nNotwithstanding Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s repeated claim over the \u201cco-operative federalism\u201d, the Centre appears to have been moving towards usurping states\u2019 exclusivity with regard to police powers. NITI Aayog in a report on police reforms submitted to the government has suggested shifting of police powers and public order to the \u201cConcurrent List\u201d of the Constitution.<\/p>\n
The NITI Aayog report, a copy of which is with The Tribune, under the title \u201cBuilding smart police: background into the needed police reforms\u201d, has called for \u201cmoving police to the Concurrent List\u201d as part of its suggestions under the head \u201cLegislative Reforms\u201d.<\/p>\n
The report states, \u201c… police and public order come within the exclusive jurisdiction of the state. The duty of the Centre is to provide armed and paramilitary forces when needed and to ensure that the executive power of every state be so exercised as to ensure compliance with the laws.\u201d<\/p>\n
It said it is often argued that these challenges will be resolved better if \u201cpolice and public order\u201d are \u201cshifted from the State List in the VIIth Schedule of the Constitution to the Concurrent List\u201d. The report said by shifting the matter to the Concurrent List, \u201cthe Union Government can play a more proactive role in curbing violation of public order at a nascent stage\u201d. Another reason cited is that tackling the rapid increase in inter-state crimes in the present framework is slightly challenging.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
