Police stations equipped with "outdated" weapons 15 May 2009, 1028 hrs IST, PTI
NEW DELHI: Notwithstanding increasing terror threats, police stations across the country are still depending on "outdated" weapons as the availability of sophisticated arms was "far below" the actual requirement.
According to the Comptroller and Auditor General, the weapons procurement data on each state showed that sophisticated arms like AK-47, 7.62mm SLR and 5.56mm INSAS rifle were far below the requirement of the states.
"As a result, police stations continued to depend on outdated weapons," the CAG said in its 'Audit Evaluation of Modernisation of Police Force in India' report.
Providing examples, the report said that adequate weapons were not supplied to extremist prone police stations in West Bengal while there was a shortage of 9,540 sophisticated arms in Rajasthan.
The report also pointed out that AK-47 rifles were placed at the disposal of bodyguards of VIPs in violation of home ministry's instructions. "In Uttar Pradesh, outdated .303 bore rifles and .410 muskets were in use," it said.
The CAG also found a case in Kerala where 1,000 second hand rifles were procured for Rs 50 lakh from Assam Rifles when the government had earmarked Rs 25 lakh for procuring 100 7.62 mm SLRs.
- High population and still growing. in 1947 our population was 33 cr, which has grown upto 115 cr. Whereas land area is constant. One child norm (as in China since 1979) with provision of first child after 25 yrs of age must b enforced all over the world.
- Consumerism. High level of consumerism combined with high population means high air & water pollution, shortage of water, petroleum products, food items and global warming. Simple living must b promoted and there should b control on wasteful use of electricity, petroleum products and water.
- Corruption. Corruption has increased tremendously. Most of the politicians ruling us and making laws r highly corrupt. They were traded like goats during trust vote. many of them change parties and alliances as fast as Shivraj Patil changes his suits. People should not elect corrupt people in elections.
- Terrorism. Religion based terrorism started in 1987 in K'shmir. There was Khalistan based terrorim for some yrs in Punjab. Now religion based terrorism has spread all over. There were even reports of meeting between Dawood & Talibanese chief in Swat to put up Talibanese candidates in Loksabha elections. We must improve our survelience and inteligence. Pro Pak people like Antule should not b part of the new govt and good Muslims should b encouraged to dissociate themselves from terrorists.
All right thinking people should think further on how to remove these problems.

hv u ever worked hard to overcome temptation and evil. spreading poison agst BJP and talking abt temtations? get lost from this boardroom. there is no space for such person.cant argue and always spreading venom.
Just wait and see. If BJP comes to power, our secular constitution will become a communal constitution. It will be a constitution written and amended by RSS and sangh parivar goons. It will be a first step in the direction of creating a hindu country from the secular India. Tough times ahead of us. Country may disintegrate into pieces through civil war and internal instability. Enemy can easily attack us once we ourselves are not united. Advani's aim is to change constitution to the wish and will and taste of RSS. Then he can have a eternal sleep.

Maria Lobo, pl don't tax your brain. Nothing of that sort is going to happen. They had ruled for about 6 years earlier also. Take some tranquilizers and rest.
Re: Re: Juat wait and see.

If BJPee rules 55 years in the future then many worse things will follow. Dont neglect my predictions. We have seen many glimpses of their good governance from 1990s.

why you are posting the same same message in every news discussion.Just make it mess.don't do that.
Now since the elections r over and no party or group is going to win majority, the great Horse Trading has started. No party is bothered about the people or policy. There only concern is how to b in power by hook and crook and amas as much money as possible during the next 5 yrs.
Most of the corrupt politicians hv increased their bank balances. Some hv lot of black money in Swiss banks. But last govt did not take any action in getting this info from Swiss authorities. I don't know what will the new govt do. The maximum black money in these banks (who do not pay any interest) is owned by highly corrupt Indians. Since most of the political parties' leaders r corrupt, who will bell the cat?

all mahajan money known to all BJP LEADERS,Sorry ,no no politicians coz no leaders in BJP after Advani or politiccians.
Re: Re: Who will bell the cat in Swiss banks
by Ram Sharma on May 15, 2009 12:49 PM
U r only obsessed with BJP and need some rest and peace of mind. If BJP leaders hv money in Swiss banks, why MMS was criticising BJP for raising the issue? Now US, Germany etc hv started asking Swiss info, but our rulers were busy in criticising BJP.
B rational instead of being blind supporter or opposer of any party.

this type of thinking will let u down further. any in GOVT WILL OPPOSE THE ISSUE RAISED BY OPPOSITION-ITS SIMPLE.

THE day BJP WILL BE INDEPENDENT WILL STAND ON ITS OWN LEGS(PHILOSOPHY)BREAKING ALL LINKS WITH RELIGIOUS ORGANISATIONS,WILL FLOURISH.
EVEN HINDOOS DISLIKE INVOLVMENT OF RELIGIOUS ORGANISATION'S HELP/SUPPORT TO BJP
all byopari looks like goons- shouting loudly as if they kick out all religion people from INDIA EXCEPT hindoos. though i am hindoo,i can never imagine india only with hindoos- bogus dialouges made many young urbanites blind.

the party which still shouting for a mandir since its inception is fooling the poor,who still r struggling for basic needs.
when every one is looking forward,a party is confined to many useless issues. only wild ones eyes,brain takes everything as wild assumptions with a pre-conceived mind.

I dont see them shouting for a mandir.
What I have seen is, some anti-BJPs constantly talking about Mandir. Even rediff published an article asking why Modi didnt mention Mandir in his speech. Clearly all you are interested in is a Mandir talk.
So what do you think about it? Even if they dont mention, others will always bring it up. So rectify yourselves first.

And BJP made Abdul Kalam the President right?
”At a retreat for novices, I noticed girls in my batch were unsettled about going to the confession chamber. I found that the priest there asked each girl if he could kiss them. I gathered courage and went in. He repeated the question. When I opposed, he quoted from the Bible which spoke of divine kisses.”
Re: Re: Divine kiss - Dr. Jesme
by JGN on May 15, 2009 12:39 PM
Yes, kttp, some people did. continuing from same book:
Back in his room, he tried to fondle me and when I resisted, got up and asked angrily if I had seen a man. When I said no, he stripped himself, ejaculated and forced me to strip.”
Re: Re: Re: Divine kiss - Dr. Jesme
by Maria Lobo on May 15, 2009 12:44 PM
JGN,
To those who point at Ex-nun Jesme Raphael's sexual harrasment
Sr. Jesme wanted to bring out injustice in order to restore the ethical and moral values and also stand for virtues. She could speak truth bcuz she is true Christian. The teaching of bible are such that it speaks of truth, justice, forgiveness and love which if one follows will make him or her a strong person in Jesus. Worldy powers will never shake their faith; they can destroy physical and materialistc bodies but not the eternal values and virtues. She didnt wanted such things to happen again and also her testimony will reform church in positive way. I look at it as positive step to bring in stringent ethical values in church. So tell me how many swamis, saadhvis, mullas have guts to talk about injustice openly so that their religion/faith is saved from immoral and criminal developments ?

Not only do you talk without reason, you also laugh at some nonexistent humour. The doctors consider these signs of mental trauma.

Congr is the worst party, having promoted corruption and family owned parties in the country. It is really sad that one upon a time this party had great people like Netaji, Gandhiji, Jai Prakash Narayan etc.
Now the spineless Congis worship their imported Sonia mother. Without the dynasty at the helm, these people will fight like dogs and disintegrate.
