Rajasthan Allows Political Workers in Police Intel Groups
The Rajasthan government has changed a rule to let people from political parties join special police groups called Community Liaisoning Groups (CLGs).
These groups help the police gather information and keep the peace.
Before, people in political parties couldn't join these groups.
Now, they can.
Some people think this is good because political workers know a lot about their communities.
Others worry that political workers might not be fair in their work.
The change was announced on July 19, 2023.
Rajasthan government allows political workers to join Community Liaisoning Groups (CLGs).
CLGs assist police in intelligence gathering and maintaining public order.
Previous rule barred political party members from joining CLGs.
Amendment made through a July 19 notification by the state home department.
Critics worry about potential bias, while supporters see it as leveraging grassroots connections.
