Chapter 221 Director Selection (asking for monthly votes at the end of the month)
Luoton couldn't calm down for a long time.
He knew that Sharif must have played a big role in his getting the position of CBI Special Investigation Commissioner.
However, in normal times, even if Sharif, the CBI director, gave strong support, it might not be enough.
After all, the identity of this special investigation commissioner is too special and he has privileges.
The government generally does not appoint such positions easily.
Even if there are, they are usually targeted at senior police officers, experts in certain fields, etc.
As a second-class superintendent, my police rank is obviously not high enough.
But I still got this position.
It has obviously been recognized by the top leaders, even by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
And the reason for all this is definitely not because he solved the problem of the Monkey God Cult.
This achievement is indeed great, but it is already a stretch for him to be promoted to Second Class Superintendent.
So the real reason was the discovery of the temple treasure.
Specifically, through this incident, countless bigwigs gained huge benefits from this treasure.
In this way, even if some bigwigs do not support this proposal, they will not oppose it.
So, I was appointed as the special investigation commissioner.
If his rank as a second-class superintendent was impressive enough, the identity of a special investigation commissioner would take him to a higher level.
It feels like I'm on a mission under the emperor's order, an imperial envoy?
As long as Rotten doesn't commit suicide next time, basically no one will want to mess with him.
The graduation ceremony of the School of Administration is a major event and related news will definitely be reported.
However, this news is not like some other news that are broadcast live or even released immediately.
Because this information still needs to be reviewed by relevant government departments.
It usually appears on all-in-one television stations in the evening at the earliest and is published in newspapers the next day.
Soon after Rawdon’s graduation ceremony was over, many senior IPS and some plainclothes bosses, who were obviously government officials, were sitting in the conference room of the Mabang Police Headquarters.
As the Commissioner of Mumbai Police and the second-in-command of the Maharashtra police system, Shiva Nandan is naturally here.
His position is second only to the Maharashtra Police Commissioner, and opposite him is a government official in his sixties, who is the Maharashtra Interior Minister.
"Commissioner, I think we need to consider another candidate for the post of Commissioner of Mumbai's North Central Police District," said Maharashtra's Home Minister Harari Gurmard.
When the police heard this, they immediately understood his intention.
He came to the Mabang Police Headquarters this time just for the position of director.
In fact, they already knew about Harari's idea.
Harari has mentioned this several times since Mali fell into a coma.
However, the matter of changing the director has been suppressed by the General Administration for the time being.
One reason is that the relationship with the uncle behind Mali is still there, so everyone has to give him some face.
Another thing is that the Mabon police are very disgusted with Harari's behavior. He is interfering in their internal affairs, which is unpleasant.
In fact, Harari, as the state interior minister, actually has the power to interfere in the police affairs of a state.
As mentioned earlier, the police system is directly under the jurisdiction of the federal central ministry of the interior. At the local level, even the chief minister of a state cannot directly order the director general of the state police. They are not truly superiors and subordinates in name, but are actually two systems with no subordinate relationship.
Because the Director General ultimately reports to the Federal Minister of the Interior.
In theory, this is correct, but in the actual implementation process, it still has to interact with local government agencies.
Take IPS for example. Their salaries and benefits are all covered by the federal government.
However, the salaries and welfare benefits of the police officers under them, such as local police, are the responsibility of the states.
That is to say, the federal government will give some grants to the state police departments, which are basically the funds for IPS, but the rest of the funds still come from the state governments.
Then it is necessary to liaise with the Ministry of Home Affairs of each state, which is responsible for some matters related to the local police system.
Local states hold the financial power over their own police systems, so this requires mutual compromise and cooperation on both sides.
If the two sides are not harmonious, conflicts will arise.
This is the clash between the top police officers and the government, a fight for the right to speak.
Just like before, the Mabon police were suppressed by the government. This was because after Rodon caused trouble in Harreg, the police took back the bad voice.
Otherwise, Harari would probably be aggressive today.
Of course, the police are still not careless. After all, Harari is in charge of their purse strings, and generally speaking, they would not offend him.
Isn't it good for everyone to get along well? So they all take Harari's opinions very seriously.
But this time, Harari obviously lost his patience and went straight to the door.
Harari wants to support Aris Jhodi to take power.
Aris and Harari have a close relationship, so it is not surprising that Harari supports Aris.
Mali has almost become a vegetable, so Harari will certainly not miss such a good opportunity.
As the state interior minister, he certainly hopes to have a greater say in the state police system, and cultivating some of his own confidants is a routine operation for him.
"Mr. Minister, I don't think this matter is urgent." The director of the General Administration smiled.
"How can we not be anxious?" Harari said in a deep voice, "A district has been without a police chief for too long, and we don't know how long the position will be vacant. This is irresponsible for the public security in the district. We who are responsible for public security must be responsible for this. The district police chief must quickly choose another candidate. I know some of your concerns. Aren't you worried that if Chief Mali Trivedi wakes up, it will be difficult to handle? Isn't this a simple matter? We can just arrange another position when the time comes. I heard that Chief Trivedi was going to be promoted, so he can just come to the headquarters to arrange a position when the time comes."
The police chief of a district in Mumbai holds great power and it is worth his personal effort to fight for it.
I have mentioned it so many times before, but the Mabang General Administration has always turned a blind eye to it.
If it was still okay when Mari was just injured, everyone could wait a little longer, maybe Mari would wake up.
But what about now?
It has been so long and Mali has shown no signs of waking up, and the hospital has also released the results.
It has basically been confirmed that Mali is in a vegetative state unless a miracle happens.
Therefore, it is definitely inappropriate to continue to let Mali hold the title of district police chief.
Harari came prepared this time, and reason is on his side.
Aris' position as director must be secured today.
The Director General was silent.
The time has indeed dragged on for a long time, and what Harari said is actually not without reason.
But they still have some opinions about the candidate for director.
Aris is Harari's man, which is something most people in the general administration disagree with.
They don't want people from the state home department to get involved in their own police force.
But many times, it is not easy to fall out with the state Ministry of Interior.
Moreover, the district police chief has not yet reached the real top level.
If Harari really wants to place people in high-level positions, such as in the General Administration, they will definitely strongly oppose it.
So if it is just the chief of a district police station, the police can compromise to a certain extent.
But when you compromise, you still have to seek some benefits.
After all, Harari is in charge of the money.
"Aris is still a second-level police superintendent." Shiva said.
He is the Commissioner of Mumbai Police. This is a matter under his jurisdiction and he is a direct stakeholder, so he is the most appropriate person to speak out.
"Chief Nandan, Aris is already a senior second-level police superintendent. It will be his turn to be promoted, right? I don't think this is a problem." Harari said with a smile while looking at Shiva Nandan opposite him.
"Whether he gets promoted or not, it will take some time," Shiva said. "Besides, Aris is doing a good job now. Although he is only the deputy director, the public security in his jurisdiction is still in good order."
"Aris has done a good job, I agree with that," Harari said, "but he is only a deputy chief after all, which is a bit unreasonable. And he is a bit overwhelmed to have all the work of the chief put on him. When he is promoted to chief, the police station can have another deputy chief, and I believe the work there will be much easier. This will definitely help the work in the jurisdiction."
"Yes, we are indeed short of staff. Mr. Minister reminded me of this." Harari looked at the Director of the General Administration and said, "Director, I think we can add a deputy director."
Hearing Shiva's words, Harari smiled in his heart.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
That's right.
One more deputy director, Aris promoted to director, isn't this perfect? The director of the General Administration glanced at Shiva, feeling a little surprised by Shiva's answer.
Because before, Shiva had strongly opposed Aris's ascension to the throne.
He also said at the time that if they really wanted to promote Aris to the rank of Superintendent of Police, they would transfer him out of Mumbai and make him the District Police Chief, which was impossible.
Is Shiva compromising now?
"Are you sure?" asked the Director General.
"Of course." Shiva said, "Mr. Minister's consideration is indeed reasonable. The district police station still needs a chief to take charge of the overall situation, and then add a deputy chief, so that the law and order in the jurisdiction can be better maintained. It's just that the police station's finances are a bit tight recently, I don't know~~"
Shiva didn't say anything else, but looked at Harari.
Harari cursed inwardly.
If you want money, just say so directly. Why make excuses?
However, he had already anticipated that the police would use this incident to make a fuss and want to transfer more funds to his side.
As long as Aris can become the director, there will be no problem with funding.
It’s not your money anyway.
"There is no problem with funding. I wonder how much Director Nandan needs?" Harari asked with a smile.
Shiva smiled slightly, opened his five fingers and shook them.
The corners of Harari's mouth twitched twice. This guy has a really evil heart.
He blackmailed me for so much all at once.
"Okay, this is the number." Harari agreed very happily on the surface.
As long as Aris gets the position of director, it will be a good deal and he won't bargain.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Minister." Shiva laughed.
"What about Aris being the director?" Harari still wanted to confirm it. He couldn't be fooled.
"That's definitely no problem," Shiva said, "but this matter still needs to go through the procedures. First he has to be promoted to first-class superintendent, and then promoted to director. All of this takes time."
"How long will it take?" Harari frowned. He was a little dissatisfied with Shiva's words.
Could it be that he wanted to delay me? Then he would take my money and not do the job? "Within three months."
"It's been too long." Harari said very dissatisfiedly.
"Let's put it this way," the director of the General Administration said, "Within a month and a half, Mr. Minister, after all, it's considered two promotions. Promotion of police rank and promotion of position should be separated. I think we still need to go through the procedures. Besides, since we have agreed to it, we will definitely not let you down."
Harari did not immediately respond.
Honestly speaking, in his opinion, since everyone had agreed on this kind of thing, it would only take ten days or half a month at most.
He definitely couldn't accept the three months Shiva mentioned.
One and a half months as director of the General Administration is acceptable.
From this we can see that the police are still a little unwilling to give in.
It can be delayed for another month and a half.
They all said so, especially since the director of the general administration said so, it is still credible.
"Well, I will appoint Aris as acting director first. Mr. Minister, what do you think?" asked the director of the general administration.
"Then let's do as the director says." Harari said with a smile.
That's about right.
Previously, Aris exercised the power of the chief, but the police did not even give him the title of acting chief.
Many times, this name is needed.
Acting director, then director, and there will be no problem.
"What about our funding?" Shiva asked.
"Don't worry, I will deal with it right away when I get back. The money will be credited to your account within a week. It's a one-time payment and there will be no delay." Harari said with a smile.
Since the police have compromised, there is no need for me to hold them back any longer.
Otherwise you will appear stingy.
He probably understood Shiva's thoughts a little bit. The police must want to make a fuss about the selection of deputy director.
Want to use the deputy director to contain the director Aris? If Aris has no support, perhaps Shiva's idea can be realized.
But by then, Aris will have his own support, so what can he do even if Shiva supports the deputy director?
After all, there is a distinction between the director and the deputy director, and the deputy is destined to be at an absolute disadvantage when facing the director.
So as long as Aris becomes the chief, he is confident that he can let Aris take control of the North Central District Police Department.
Harari left with satisfaction, and the people in the conference room also dispersed, leaving only the director of the general administration and Shiva.
"I thought you would object." The director of the general office looked at Shiva and said.
"The situation in Mali is not optimistic. Even if I oppose it this time, how many times can I oppose it? The result will be the same." Shiva sighed.
"Yeah." The director of the General Administration also sighed, "That guy Harari is determined to get it. Now he has planted someone in a relatively important position, which is not a good thing for our police. I will retire soon. If there is any trouble in the future, it will not be my business. But you, you have to be careful."
After the last terrorist attack, although he did not resign, he was about to step down.
The natural successor is Shiva, there is no doubt about that.
So in the future Shiva will be the director of the general bureau, and then it will be Shiva who will fight against the government.
"Thank you for your reminder, Chief. I know what's going on." Shiva said, "We can't object to the position of Chief of the Northern Central District Police Station, but we have the final say on the selection of the Deputy Chief."
"You want to use the deputy director to contain Aris?" The director of the General Administration nodded, not optimistic. "I don't think the effect will be very good. After all, Aris has the support of Harari. Even if you support the deputy director, Aris is exercising the power of the director, and you can't forcefully interfere."
"I have already found the best candidate." Shiva smiled, "I believe there will be no problem."
