The Uttar Pradesh government has decided to setup the police commissioner system in Lucknow and Noida cities. After cabinet meeting in Lucknow on Monday Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced the decision and said that the cabinet has approved the Police Commissionerate system proposal, which was pending for decades. He said the decision would further improve the law and order situation in the state.
The police commissionerate system will leave the district magistrates with only revenue related work and all decisions regarding law and order will be taken by the police commissioners.
Under the new system 40 police stations in Lucknow will be brought under the police commissioner who will have a team of two IGs as joint commissioners, nine SP-rank officials and a lady officer of SP rank along with a lady officer of ASP rank. The lady officers will work exclusively for cases relating to crime against women and its control.
In Noida, under the ADG rank official as commissioner, there will be two DIGs, five SPs, a SP-rank lady officer and an ASP rank official for traffic control.
