<b>Cop surfs net for bulletproof jackets</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Dange is frustrated with the state machinery and the facilities provided to the police force to face challenges of such magnitude as the November 26 Mumbai terror attacks. âWe have jackets that prove useless when we have to face terrorists wielding AK-47s.â
....
Meanwhile, former IPS officer Y P Singh has said that the bulletproof jackets used by Karkare, Kamte and Salaskar were of sub-standard quality. They were used on dummies a few years ago in Goregaon and were reported to be of sub-standard quality, he added. âDespite this, the authorities went ahead and procured the jackets. Officers like Karkare, Kamte and Salaskar would not have died had the jackets complied with the specifications,â Singh said.
Singh had himself tested a jacket and reported to the authorities about its sub-standard quality. â<b>Crores of rupees are being pumped into police modernisation, but favouring suppliers by relaxing conditions has become very common</b>,â Singh said, adding that a high-level probe was needed in this regard. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Arun Dange atitude is the best, he is smart. This is only way they can survive and can perform well. Bypass Babus for your own sake, these Babus and politicians are SOB who only cares for his own kitty.
Minimum government involement should be motto.
In US local authorities provide special gears but people buy their own of their own choice and better quality.
