Chapter 81: Improving the Police's Voice
"No, no, no, Chief. After all, those guys in Mumbai are still watching us. They might cause trouble for you. I can't make things difficult for you because of this." Rawdon said, "Chief, I heard that the relationship between our police and the local government in Pune is not very harmonious?"
"Did Mali Trivedi tell you?" asked Pirando.
He was very satisfied with what Rotten said, which was considering him. Although he really didn't care too much about other people's opinions, it was still rare for Rotten to have such a heart.
"Yes, he mentioned it to me briefly, but he didn't go into details," Rawdon replied.
"Yes, the situation here is very different from that in Mumbai, and the power of our police is greatly restricted..." Pirando briefly told Rawdon about the situation in Pune.
After listening to it, Rawdon had a better understanding of the affairs in Harreg's jurisdiction.
The rebellion of a section of the Dalit caste is difficult to resolve. In fact, it cannot be entirely blamed on the police's failure to arrest them. It is also closely related to the local government's suppression of the police.
Once such incidents are exposed, it will have a huge impact on the image of the local government. After all, the occurrence of caste conflicts is the government's problem.
You know, in India, people of lower castes are generally submissive and are used to being bullied by people of higher castes.
It is very rare for resistance to occur.
This will affect the promotion of these officials and even the popularity of some politicians.
Of course, it is also because the local government does not trust the police and they do not have confidence in the police's abilities.
It is precisely because the police are incompetent and they are afraid that the matter will get bigger and worse, so they might as well end it once and for all. They suppress the police and do not allow them to take large-scale actions, and directly block the news.
If there is no news, then just pretend that this matter does not exist. This is the government’s logic.
After all, the impact of this incident is not too large. It is mainly in the jurisdiction of Harreg, which is just a township and a small surrounding area. Everything is under control.
Considering other places, those states that have armed resistance, this is really nothing.
The police initially wanted to encircle and arrest the criminals, but after several failures, coupled with the lack of cooperation and even pressure from the local government, they gradually gave up.
The current situation in Pune zone is that the local administrative agencies are strong while the police are relatively weak. For example, the previous zone police chief could basically only follow orders and did not have much autonomy.
Although the police is an independent law enforcement agency and does not need to listen to the local government, this is only in theory. After all, all expenses of the local police must go through the local government.
Senior police officers, such as IPS, are not supported by local finances, but what about most other police officers?
It's not the federal central government that pays the salaries, but the local states, so the local government still has a considerable influence on the police.
This has led to a certain power struggle between the local government and the police, or more precisely, a struggle for the right to speak between the local government boss and the police boss.
The previous district director had obviously failed and lost his voice.
If you lose your voice and are not strong, other departments will be unwilling to cooperate with you. For example, if the court does not cooperate, it will be difficult for the police to do anything.
This is a vicious cycle.
"I thought I could relax after becoming the boss of the district police system, but I didn't expect that I would still have to endure bullying." After Pirando finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh again.
When he was in Mumbai, he was always targeted by Hassan. Now that he has come out and become the boss of a zone, he did not expect to be implicated by the government.
When he first came here, the district government gave him a warning.
Since he was new there, he endured it.
But this made Pirando very unhappy. He didn't want the police system to be a foil when he came here. He wanted to be the one in charge.
"Director, I have an immature idea." Roton said after thinking for a while.
"you say."
"If we reveal the true situation over there, will it be beneficial to our police?" asked Roton.
Pirando on the other end of the phone did not answer immediately, but remained silent, obviously thinking about what Rawdon said.
"The news media in Pune have been warned by the local government not to report these things. Even the Mabang TV station has been warned, so it is difficult to spread the news." Pirando sighed, "I don't have any powerful friends in the media who can help me."
Originally, Pirando was thinking about asking his old leader Shiva Nandan for help, but then he thought again that his old leader had just taken the position of Chief of the Mumbai Police Department, and it would not be a good idea to disturb him at this time.
After all, participating in this report would mean offending the Pune District Government, which would not be a good thing for Shiva.
In any case, Shiva's success in winning the position of director was a narrow victory. Others are still eyeing him, waiting for Shiva to make a mistake or offend someone.

Moreover, if I go to see my old leader right after arriving in Pune Zone, how will he view me?
Doesn't this make me look incompetent? "What about All India Television?" Rawdon said.
"Well?" Pirando thought for a moment and said, "I'm sure he gave me a heads up, otherwise it would have been reported long ago."
"Director, that was in the past. I think there should be room for maneuver now," said Rawdon. "A new director from Delhi, Fiya Mishra, came to the Mumbai branch of All India Television not long ago. I wonder if the director knows her well?"
"Oh? Is it the one who participated in the last Bloody Hand Gang report?" Pirando came back to his senses immediately. He knew that it was Rodon who contacted the All India Television, so it was obviously this Fia.
At that time, he and Mali had also contacted some media, but the All India Television was obviously more prepared and more proactive.
The last news was fine, the media they contacted dared to report it.
Unlike Pune, because the Pune government has greeted these major media, we do not have enough face in front of these media to let them offend the Pune district government.
"The Mishra family?" Pirando said again, "I don't know much about the situation in Delhi, but I know that this family has a long history and is quite powerful. I think most of them are from this family."
"She wants to make some big news right now, and I think we can get her cooperation," said Roton.
He originally wanted to learn more about Fia from Pirando, but now it seems that Pirando's knowledge is limited.
Of course, Roton has his own judgment about Fia's background. As a child of a big family with great power, she is obviously the kind that has influence in all walks of life, otherwise Fia would not be so confident.
Roton didn't say that he had to know the power of Fia and her family. He was just curious. It would be best if he could know. If he didn't know now, he could find out later.
"The people in Delhi have a background and are new here, so they really don't care much about the district government." Pirando said, "You contact her first. If she can confirm that she will report the news from Harreg, we can make the next plan. If it is really feasible, maybe I can use this to enhance the police's voice in the district."
