"How Can We Stand in the Middle of the Road in 45 Degrees Temperature?" - Udaipur Constable's Impassioned Plea Goes Viral on Social Media

Udaipur- A traffic constable stationed in Udaipur city has set social media abuzz with his impassioned plea to higher authorities, shedding light on alleged misconduct by a Traffic DySP.

In a video that has gone viral, Constable Ashuram makes serious allegations against Deputy Superintendent of Traffic Police, Netrapal Singh, accusing him of abusive behavior, personal vendettas, and unethical treatment of subordinates.

The video, recorded at the bustling Dehli Gate intersection, captures Constable Ashuram's frustration as he voices grievances against DSP Netrapal Singh. Among the litany of complaints, Ashuram highlights the alleged coercion to stand duty in extreme weather conditions, particularly scorching temperatures reaching up to 45 degrees Celsius.

He laments the degradation of ethical standards among promotee officers and asserts that Singh's directives seem driven more by a desire for power than genuine duty concerns.

Ashuram passionately appealed to the Director General of Police and Udaipur SP, highlighting the lack of ethical standards among promoted officers who engage in verbal abuse and misconduct. He earnestly urged that only directly recruited officers be entrusted with traffic management responsibilities in cities.

Referring to DySPs like Netrapal, he lamented instances of misbehavior directed towards the constabulary, emphasizing the need for change. 'You may choose to dismiss me,' he expressed with humility, 'but I implore you to empathize with the struggles faced by individuals like myself.'"

Meanwhile, Traffic DySP Netrapal Singh dismissed the constable's allegations, asserting that the individual in question simply does not wish to fulfill his duty obligations.

Singh emphasized that all members of the police force are expected to work, regardless of the weather conditions. He pointed out that others diligently carry out their duties even in rain, scorching heat, and extreme cold, questioning why this constable appears to be the exception.

According to Singh, such accusations are a tactic to evade responsibilities. He confirmed that a letter outlining disciplinary actions against the constable would be submitted to the SP for further action.

Meanwhile, as the viral video gains traction, many are expressing solidarity with the constable and affirming the validity of his actions.

One user remarked, "This is indicative of the systemic issues prevalent in our country. While people often criticize the police force, we fail to recognize the immense mental stress endured by the jawans. It all stems from the leadership and trickles down, exacerbating the situation. The ultimate sufferers of this stress are the marginalized and oppressed members of society, who feel powerless to voice their grievances. Just as this constable is fearful of the system, so too are the poor, who feel helpless in their struggle against it."

Another user weighed in on the matter, highlighting two crucial points:

1. "The behavior of promoted RPS officers tends to be more unruly and indecent compared to officers who directly enter the RPS ranks, a sentiment that holds true for the majority, with only a few exceptions."

2. "Officers who enter the RPS directly often disregard the authority of promoted RPS officers, leading to instances of mistreatment toward their subordinates."

One user suggests a practical solution: deploying officers to the field periodically, enabling them to gain first hand experience of ground-level challenges.

This approach could foster a deeper understanding of operational dynamics and potentially lead to more informed decision-making at higher levels.

Amidst the discourse surrounding the viral video, a sobering reality emerges as one user offers a pragmatic perspective. They assert that the likely course of action will involve repercussions solely for the constable, rather than addressing the underlying systemic issues raised in his plea.

Numerous individuals have expressed concerns that the constable's bold statement may provoke a negative reaction from authorities. Finding a resolution to the issue appears daunting, with many anticipating the constable's suspension as a likely outcome.

In response to the widespread circulation of the viral video, the Udaipur police department has issued a statement indicating that a preliminary investigation into the matter has been initiated and action would be taken as per departmental rules.
