Correspondent GUWAHATI, Jan 21 – Meghalaya Governor RS Mooshahary today stated that neither the new Assam Police Act nor the scrapping of the IM (DT) Act has brought in any change in Assam as they were expected to in the respective areas. The Meghalaya Governor stressed, “it is the inherent will of the people concerned be it the politicians or the policemen that makes a difference and not just merely having a law or an Act.”“A lot of hue and cry was made about the loopholes of the old Assam Police Act. But, has things improved after the new Assam Police Act came into being? I do not see any visible change,” said the former chief of NSG and BSF while speaking during the valedictory function of the 39th Indian Police Congress here today.“In order to pave way for a congenial atmosphere, we must ensure that the perpetrators of crime must know that he would not be able to move scot-free after committing a crime and once he is caught, he would be slapped with adequate punishment,” said Mooshahary.“Unfortunately, police has not done enough to force the criminals to think about these aspects. The police have more or less failed to infuse fear in the minds of the wrongdoers,” he pointed out.Referring to the scrapping of IM (DT) Act, the Meghalaya Governor rued, “The apex court scrapped the Act in 2005, which for many was safeguarding the interest of the illegal migrants in the State.

Not a single case of detection of any illegal migrant has taken place in the State under the Foreigners’ Act.”Mooshahary stressing for a skilled training for the police personnel said, “Training in Assam Police has been the last priority but things has to change for better.”“The onus is on the top officials to keep the men motivated and close to the common man,” he reiterated, adding that the cleansing process should begin from top level.
