Grievances of our police force
It is known to all that the police force of a country is assigned with the arduous task of keeping the law and order situation at a tolerable level to ensure peace and stability. And to do so police have to go through lots of difficult situations. However, in return, what do they get? They don't get a better pay, comfortable place to live in, or better meals, let alone other promised benefits enjoyed by the officers. I was saddened while going through a local daily which gave a very sorry tale about the condition of low ranking police personnel. Government must take immediate actions to address their plight. If the police don't get enough to live a decent life, how will they perform their duties properly? Obviously, they will resort to other means to make some extra bucks. Our police force should also be adequately equipped with all required logistics to combat crimes effectively.
