Security agencies will soon be able to examine the crime scene across the country at the click of a mouse with the upgraded centralised database of the police, also known as POLNET. "The POLNET will soon be able to carry the footage or visuals of the crime scene. This is an important feature, which is being considered to be included in the network to enhance its utility," a senior Home Ministry official said.
'There is simply no evidence of any new or clear policy direction in internal security, and mounting evidence of policy incoherence.' 'Worse, the promise of giving the common man -- and, more importantly, woman -- a greater sense of security has been utterly belied. Indeed, with an escalation of communal posturing and rhetoric, there is a broader sense of uncertainty,' says Ajai Sahni.
