The Uttar Pradesh police, on Friday, announced the implementation of citizens’ charter and fixed time frame for various tasks related to the common man.
Additional director-general (law and order) Subesh Kumar Singh told reporters on Friday that the citizens’ charter aims at ensuring speedy disposal of peoples’ complaints and also fixes a time frame for various tasks.
He said the system had earlier been implemented in some districts, including Ghaziabad and Agra, but it was now being implemented across the state.
“Directives have also been issued to prominently display citizens’ charter in all police stations and offices so that common man could know about his rights. A monitoring cell has also been set up at the DGP headquarters in Lucknow,” he said.

LUCKNOW, NOV. 4
High drama was witnessed in the state capital’s Indira Bhawan that houses government offices on Friday night when senior IPS officer Devendra Misra, presently posted as DIG fire services, locked himself in his office alleging a threat to his life from UP chief minister Mayawati.
All top police and district officials reached the DIG’s office and tried to persuade him to come out of his office. Officials claimed that the DIG was mentally unstable and could harm himself.
Earlier in the day, Mr Misra alleged that massive corruption had taken place in the purchase of fire brigades and he was being pressurized. He was later taken to hospital.
