The move came about, the letter mentions, during a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on August 25, 2017, where it was found that proof of pending recommendations being implemented was present only on paper.

Mumbai: The Union Home Ministry has written to police forces across the country to assess their efforts to encourage citizens to move to cashless transactions and curb fake currency and anti-national activities, so that “the objectives of demonetisation are fully accomplished”.

The Home Ministry’s letter, titled “Implementation of pending recommendation of DGsP-IGP Conference (2014, 2015 & 2016)”, was sent to all police stations in the country on September 18. A status report on each pending recommendation was to be submitted to Superintendents and Commissioners of Police by Thursday.

The move came about, the letter mentions, during a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on August 25, 2017, where it was found that proof of pending recommendations being implemented was present only on paper, but “no evidence was found that action had been taken on those recommendations”.

Among the five pending recommendations from the November 24-26, 2016, DGsP-IGP Conference in Hyderabad, which Modi inaugurated, are those relating to digital transactions and demonetisation. From the recommendations made at annual conferences of Directors General of Police and Inspectors General of Police between 2014 and 2016, 25 are still to be implemented by the police of states and Union Territories, the Ministry’s letter says.

Other key recommendations that remain pending for implementation include using Aadhaar data to the advantage of police, compiling a “data bank” of government employees living in the jurisdiction of a police station, and “honouring” journalists who portray the police positively in their reports.

All state police forces must “educate people to enable the move to cashless transactions”, the Home Ministry has recommended, and asked Union Territories and particularly the Delhi Police, “to take the lead role in this exercise”. The letter asks officers in charge of police stations in large towns about action taken to reach out to shopkeepers and traders in their jurisdictions to educate them.

The recommendation from the 2016 Conference that the letter accords the highest priority to, is to “curb fake money, arms smuggling, and other anti-national activities so that the objectives of demonetisation are fully accomplished”.

The letter asks the police of each state to collate answers sent by police districts and city commissionerates and send a comprehensive report to New Delhi.
