NOIDA: Under the new commissionerate system, only the
commissioner of police
can give approval for the
Gangster Act
and provisions of the Goonda Act can be slapped only after a nod from the additional DCP (law and order).
The decisions were taken during a meeting convened by the
commissioner
of police,
Alok Kumar Singh
, on Wednesday. Top
police
officers, such as DCPs, additional DCPs and ACPs, were asked to prepare a list of top 10 criminals active in each of the 22 police stations in the district.
DCP (Noida) Sankalp Sharma said the list would have to be submitted every month. “Action will have to be taken against these criminals. They have to be arrested and the
Gangster
or the Goonda Act need to be imposed against them,” he added.
DCP (central Noida) Harish Chander said the list of top 10 criminals needs to be different every month. DCPs and additional DCPs will have the authority to recommend the imposition of the Act, as the case may be.
