EVERY PLACE IN THE COUNTRY HAS AN ADDRESS WHICH HAS 10 ATTRIBUTES OR PARTS. THE FIRST ONE IS COMMON, THAT IS INDIA WHICH IS YOUR DESH, COUNTRY. SECOND IS YOUR STATE OR UNION TERRITORY. THIRD IS THE MANDAL OR DIVISION. IN SOME UNION TERRITORIES MANDALS MAY NOT BE THERE. IF THAT IS THE CASE ANYWHERE THEN THIS THIRD ATTRIBUTE IS BLANK FOR THEM. BUT THIRD ATTRIBUTE WILL NOT BE DISSOLVED OR DISSOLUTED JUST BECAUSE THAT UNION TERRITORY IS NOT DIVIDED LIKE THAT. FOURTH IS ZILA OR DISTRICT. AGAIN WHAT APPLIES TO THIRD ATTRIBUTE APPLIES FOR FOURTH ALSO - IF UT DOESN’T HAVE DISTRICT THEN FOURTH ATTRIBUTE IS NOT DISSOLUTED. FIFTH IS TAHSIL OR TALUK OR SUB DIVISION. AGAIN NOT TO BE DISSOLUTED APPLIES HERE. ADDITIONALLY IN SOME STATES TAHSIL, TALUKS ARE NOT THERE. THERE ARE BLOCKS. THEY MAY NOT BE EQUIVALENT (TAHSILS MAY NOT BE EQUIVALENT TO BLOCKS). WHATEVER THE CASE WE ARE USING TAHSIL OR TALUK TERM OR SUBDIVISION TERM. SIXTH IS POSTAL PIN CODE. THIS, WE ALL KNOW, EXISTS FOR EVERY SQUARE INCH OF LAND OF COUNTRY. SO POSTAL PIN CODE COULD HAVE BEEN THE ATTRIBUTE RIGHT AFTER COUNTRY ATTRIBUTE COULD BE AN ARGUMENT. BUT NO. FOR THE SAKE OF  THIS OUR WORK, WE NEED OR WE WILL USE STEP BY STEP GRADATION. HERE WE HAVE PRESUMED THAT EVERY POSTAL PIN CODE IS ‘COMPLETELY ENCAPSULATED’ IN ANY TAHSIL. THIS MEANS THAT WE HAVE PRESUMED THAT THERE IS NOT A SINGLE POSTAL PIN CODE WHICH STRADDLES TWO OR MORE TAHSILS - MEANING, AS MENTIONED, THEY ARE COMPLETELY ENCASED IN ANY TAHSIL. IF THAT IS NOT THE CASE THEN WE WILL REDO THIS. YES. WE WILL THEN HAVE TO REDO THIS SYSTEM ENTIRELY. SO YOU TELL US. WE WILL DO IT. TELL US IF THERE IS ANY POSTAL PIN CODE THAT STRADDLES TWO OR MORE TAHSILS. SEVENTH IS SUB POST OFFICE. EVERY POST OFFICE IS FURTHER SUB DIVIDED. THIS, WE HOPE, IS TRUE UNIVERSALLY, MEANING TRUE FOR ALL PIN CODES. EVEN IF NOT, THEN THIS SEVENTH ATTRIBUTE WILL NOT BE DISSOLUTED. IT WILL STAY BLANK FOR THAT CASE. WE ARE ALSO CALLING THIS SUB PO AS POCKET FOR NOW. EIGHTH IS CLUSTER WHICH IS FURTHER SMALLER AREA WITHIN A POCKET. THIS WILL BE DECIDED BY THE LOCAL MACHINERY, ADMINISTRATION, POLICE, WHATEVER ELSE. BUT THIS IS NOT MUNICIPAL STUFF PLEASE. SO MUNICIPALITY DIVISION IS NOT APPLYING HERE AT ALL. THIS IS INDEPENDENT OF WHAT MUNICIPALITY SAYS. THIS IS ALSO INDEPENDENT OF WHAT THE REVENUE DEPARTMENT OF THAT PLACE SAYS. THIS IS ALSO INDEPENDENT OF THE ELECTRICITY DEPARTMENT, WATER DEPARTMENT, ANY OTHER, I MEAN WE ARE TALKING GEOPOLITICAL ADMINISTRATIVE OR GOVERNANCE BREAK UP. SIMPLE. THIS IS ALSO INDEPENDENT OF POLITICAL CONSTITUENCY. NINTH IS NEIGHBOURHOOD OR MOHALLA. EVERY PLACE MAY NOT BE RESIDENTIAL. OF COURSE NOT. STILL NEIGHBOURHOOD IS NOT AN INAPPROPRIATE DEFINITION. LET IT STICK. AGAIN NINTH MAY BE BLANK FOR ANY PLACE. NOT TO BE DISSOLUTED APPLIES HERE TOO. TENTH IS GALI OR STREET. AGAIN GALI OR STREET MAY BE IRRELEVEANT FOR SOME PLACES. AGAIN NOT TO BE DISSOLUTED WILL APPLY. AND THEN SOME PLACES COULD BE SUCH THAT YOU COULD APPLY AN ELEVENTH ATTRIBUTE, SMALLER THAN A GALI, ENCAPSULATED COMPLETELY WITHIN A GALI. GO RIGHT AHEAD.

COVID-19 Lockdown and ‘boundaries’ policing suggestion

SARS-CoV-2 causing COVID-19 Epidemic - Lockdown, Suggestions to India Government.

---- ----

It was my wish to prepare a write up and then send relevant tweets - with link of that write up - to Indian Government Officials’ twitter handles much before 3 May 2020, last day of Lockdown 2.0 India due to COVID-19 epidemic caused by SARS-CoV-2. Owing to health reasons, however, it could not be. It was not complete. It is yet not complete. It is still being drafted. I am trying to put a few things in perspective actually. Country is facing a dilemma. The incomplete :-( draft is below. I am trying to cover two aspects

i a. policing of geopolitical boundaries

i b. availability of maps (all levels) first of all (Survey Of India?)

ii a. 3D charts, graphs updated real time across offices in country telling about red, orange, green zones or areas (state, division, district, tahsil (sub division), postal pin code, sub post office area - say pocket, then further down - say cluster, then still further down - say neighbourhood or mohalla, then still still further down - say gali or street).

ii b. how and when to allow inter boundary travel

---- ----

Indian Central and State Governments both should be very careful when going for relaxations during these Corona Virus times. We already have States and Union Territory borders defined in maps as also Divisions (mandals) and Districts boundaries. There should also be maps available for all Tahsils, Taluks (Sub Divisions). Are they there? It is my intelligent guess that Survey Of India has brought them out. Defined boundaries, extents, jurisdictions by way of maps should also be available for all Postal Pin Codes, all sub post offices. Yes. Then right from Constable through ASI through Inspector through SP (DCP) through DIG (AdCP) ‘through’ DGP (Commissioner) different ranks should police their jurisdictions (borders).

My focus is on containment. FOCUS: CONTAINMENT.  This means that inter border travel restriction or control is the target theme for this post. OK? So the ranks with their associated policing jurisdictions mentioned below tell about the borders that they will police, and not necessarily inside of those respective borders. Plus these ranks are dedicated towards this assigned task for the duration of the problem - this SARS-CoV-2 causing COVID-19 disease matter. Here goes:-

Secretary RAW or Secretary SPG (rank 23 in order of precedence or ‘oop’) aided by 3 Commissioners (DGPs) (rank 25 in ‘oop’) each aided further by 3 JtCPs (IGs) and so on:

Director Intelligence Bureau (DIB) (rank 25 in ‘oop’) aided by 3 Special Commissioners (AdDGPs) each aided further by 3 Additional Commissioners (DIGs) and so on:

Commissioner (DGP) aided by 3 JtCPs (IGs) each aided further by 3 DCPs Slctn Cdr (SSPs) and so on:

Special Commissioner (AdDGP) aided by 3 Additional Commissioners (DIGs) each aided further by 3 DCPs (SPs) and so on:

Joint Commissioner (IG) aided by 3 DCPs Slctn Cdr (SSPs) each aided further by 3 AdDCPs (AdSPs) and so on:

Additional Commissioner (DIG) aided by 3 DCPs (SPs) each aided further by 3 ACPs (DSPs) and so on: Nation (National Boundary)

DCP Slctn Cdr (SSP) aided by 3 AdDCPs (AdSPs) each aided further by 3 Inspectors and so on: Somewhere between (responsibility or jurisdiction) State Boundary and National Boundary - exactly what I don’t know yet

DCP (SP) aided by 3 ACPs (DSPs) each aided further by 3 SIs and so on: Entire State

AdDCP (AdSP) aided by 3 Inspectors each aided further by 3 ASIs and so on: Entire Division (mandal)

ACP (DSP) aided by 3 SIs each aided further by 3 Head Constables and so on: Entire District (zila)

Inspector aided by 3 ASIs each aided further by 3 Constables and so on: Tahsil or Taluk or Sub Division

Sub Inspector aided by 3 HCs each aided further by volunteers grade 1 and so on: Postal Code area

ASI aided by 3 Constables each aided further by still junior volunteers (grade 2): Sub Post Office area (Pocket, say)

Head Constable aided by volunteers grade 1 each aided further by public junta janaaradan (grade 3): Further small area (Cluster, say)

Constable aided by still junior volunteers (grade 2): Still smaller area (Neighbourhood, say)

Grade 1 volunteer aided by public janata janaardan (grade 3): Still further smaller area (Street, say)

[See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Police_Service for clarity and edits on here.]

Some Points you noticed:-

There are Secretary RAW (or Secy SPG) and then DIB above the police ranks in this list. They are without such assigned tasks.

Plus, I have left the DGP (Commissioner), AdDGP (Special Commissioner), IGP (Joint Commissioner) too without assigned tasks.

Plus I have assigned DIGP (Additional Commissioner) the National Boundary straightaway, I have assigned SSP (Deputy Commissioner Selection Cadre) a responsibility for something (or boundary or akin to boundary) somewhere between Nation and a State - exactly what I don’t know yet.

Note: I repeat that the ranks are ‘dedicated’ towards their assigned borders during these times. They will ordinarily not be assigned other routine tasks.

Now for example DCP aided by 3 ACPs are incharge of entire state. These 3 ACPs are (firstly) different from ones in charge of district elsewhere and (secondly) in turn are each aided by 3 Sub Inspectors who again are (firstly) different from ones in charge of postal code area elsewhere and (secondly) in turn are each aided by 3 HCs who once again are (firstly) different from ones in charge of ‘next division or break up after sub post office area’ (or defined as cluster in this post) elsewhere and (secondly) in turn are each aided by 3 Grade 1 volunteers from public.

Another important thing is that any personnel heading any geopolitical boundary is not necessarily going to be mobile. He will monitor from some centre as assigned, deemed fit. Ones who are aiding him will be, and further ones in turn will be more mobile.

Thus in the above example, DCP will not necessarily be mobile. All 3 ACPs will be. Further down Sub Inspectors - 9 in nos - will be more mobile. Further down Head Constables - 27 in nos - will be still more.

Now it will be evident that I am assigning 3 subordinates to any personnel and not 2 and not 4, not 1 and not 5, not 6 or 7 or 8. This is not binding. It can vary. Of course it can vary. But I will suggest that you keep this as base model. Theek hai?

Another thing evident is that when assigning subordinates I don’t pick the one next junior in rank but two ranks junior. This is because I want to do away with problems of ego, of non-subordination, of indiscipline (jaa main teri baat nahin maantaa jo karnaa hai kar le). Although this may not be there as much ordinarily, but I have tried to do away with it as much. You see (example) I am AdCP (DIG) and I don’t think much of the JtCP (IG) immediately above me because in my opinion he is non deserving, he is lallu panju, he doesn’t know much (kuchh aataa jaataa to hai nahin) and in this scenario if I have to take orders from him then I will be cringing day in day out, my sleep (whatever I get) will be disturbed, uneasy. But if I have to take orders from SpCP (AdDGP) then even though I might have doubts on his ability as well but I am more likely to be at ease and follow his instructions because he is two ranks senior and I will think somewhere in my head that yaar aise hi to mere se do ranks oopar nahih hai yeh bandaa. So I am more likely to abide by diktat of SpCP (AdDGP) than JtCP (IG). And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the reason of ‘two ranks difference’.

Now I will give a real example of which officer/personnel is in charge of what type ‘geopoitical boundary’:

Secy RAW

DIB

Some Commissioner (DGP)

Some SpCP (AdDGP)

Some JtCP (IG):

Some AdCP (DIG): India

Some DCP Slctn Cdr (SSP): Somewhere between Country and Delhi

Some DCP (SP): Entire Delhi

Some AdDCP (AdSP): Entire division (mandal) comprising 3 districts incl West Delhi

Some ACP (DSP): Entire district of West Delhi

Some Inspector: Entire sub division of Rajouri Garden

Some Sub Inspector: Entire 110058 Postal Code (Janakpuri)

Some Assistant Sub Inspector: Entire C Pocket (Pocket)

Some Head Constable: Entire C2 and its blocks (Cluster)

Some Constable: Entire C2B (Neighbourhood)

Volunteer Grade 1 (or Sipahi of Police wherever applicable): Some portion of C2B (say there are 3 portions) (Street)

About Pocket, Cluster, Neighbourhood, Street: Earlier I have mentioned this heirarchy for the sake of this post - Postal Pin code area, then Pocket, then Cluster, then Neighbourhood, then Street.

Question will definitely arise as to how, why am I assigning entire state to DCP (SP)?, assigning entire Postal Pin Code to Sub Inspector?, and so on. Answer is that they are (and I repeat) assigned ‘boundaries’ and not what happens ‘within that boundary’. This implies that suddenly you realise that the scope of my post is very limited. Only boundaries? Yes, you can say that scope is limited. But it is an important aspect.

Another thing: All of the country is not residential. There are industrial zones, forest areas, other areas, .. what am I talking about? How will I cover those? .. .. I am aware of that. Those are covered. Boundary is boundary, whether it is residential, industrial, whatever else. So a Sub Inspector (example) anywhere has a very different complexion to his work, duty than his counterpart elsewhere. Yes, that will happen. So what? Same applies to Inspector, same applies to ASI, same applies with other ranks.

Now about zones - green, orange, red.

These colour coding or identification has been done by Indian authorities and I will quote that or use that for simplicity, for ease.

Obviously a Constable (whether in charge of neighbourhood or aiding ASI - pocket wala ASI) somewhere in country, for instance, can have a very great difference in responsibility and stress compared to any other elsewhere in country at any given time. At the same time, a Constable who hitherto doesn’t seem to have trouble because there was no case around will suddenly see a very different scenario any time and his work, his responsibility will dramatically change. He/she has to be prepared. ‘Till today it was like this or that or easy or passing time or boring and suddenly all hell has broken loose’. This will happen. Be prepared. C’mon! And once you have been assigned then it is expected that you will be dedicated towards that. No change in personnel normally unless you suffer grievous injury or you die - number one! And number two - no asking for more contemporaries (constables) or juniors or seniors unless you feel that your own jaan maal (and health) is ‘really’ at risk.

And what applies to constable above applies to Sub Inspector, applies to AdDCP, applies to AdCP, essentially applies to everybody in police ranks.

So every small small portion of the country has an address which starts with the following (example):-

UAGRDDN (Uttarakhand State, Garhwal Division, Dehradun District)

or you could assign digits from 01 to 99 for all

which could be 270101 (27th state of Indian Union, first division, first district)

Another example:-

DLUVWDLRaGaWX (Delhi NCT - DL, Division name I don’t know what it is - and thus UV, West Delhi District - WDL, Rajouri Garden Sub Division - RaGa)

Or another simple way to do it is to use postal code straightaway

Example

110058-03-06-02-01

Here 110058 is a postal code (Janakpuri of some Tehsil of West Delhi District of some subdivision of Delhi NCT), 03 is in place of sub post office, 06 is in place of further sub division, 02 is name of still smaller area within, and 01 is nomenclature of still smaller area within.

to be identified 

Now every 

About application:

You should apply these ..

About exemptions: what if a train is passing by a pocket or cluster - how do I expect (respectively) an SI with his band of 3 HCs or ASI with his band of 3 Constables stop and question an entire train - driver and passengers?, and stop the train itself, freeze it? .. Later this ..

Another question: How do I expect a DCP (who is monitoring an entire state boundary sitting somewhere) and 3 ACPs and 9 Sub Inspectors and 27 Head Constables and 81 Grade 1 Volunteers to police an entire state boundary? Answer to this I myself don’t know yet. Visit again after 2-3 days, maybe there’s something here. ;-)
