The Modernisation of Police Forces scheme was initiated in 1969-70 and has undergone several revisions over the years. The Supreme Court in the landmark Prakash Singh case of 2006 gave seven directives where considerable work in police reforms is still needed. In this episode Sansad TV discusses the recommendations and observations made by the Committee on Home Affairs on Police Reforms. The committee noted with concern the 21% shortfall in actual strength of state police forces. The panel said women are abysmally underrepresented in the police force, constituting only 10.30 percent of the police force. The Committee is of the view that modern policing requires strong communication support, state-of-the-art modern weapons, and a high degree of mobility for quick response.The Committee notes with anguish that 257 police stations do not have vehicles, 638 police stations do not have telephones.
