## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS (SHRI HANSRAJ GANGARAM AHIR)

(a), (b) & (c): 'Police'  and  'Public  Order'  are  state  subjects.  However, Government  of  India  supplements  the  efforts  of  State  Governments  by providing central assistance under the Modernisation of Police Forces(MPF)  scheme  to  strengthen  police  infrastructure.  A  statement showing  the  total  funds  earmarked/allocated  and  disbursed  to  various States  during  each  of  the  last  three  years  and  the  current  year,  statewise  is  at  Annexure  I.  A  statement  showing  allocation  and  release  of funds for Megacity Policing, which is a component under MPF Scheme, is at Annexure-II.  The major items covered under the Scheme are mobility, weapons, equipments, training infrastructure, computerization and forensic science and infrastructure development and each State Government finalize their annual plans/projects as per their requirements and  strategic  priorities.  For  the  current  financial  year,  all  the  states submitted their State Action Plans and funds are being released based on allocation of each state and subject to submission of Utilization Certificates (UCs) in respect of  funds  released  to each state prior to the

last  financial  year.  As  regards  State  Government  of  Tamil  Nadu,  during year  2016-17,  a  total  amount  of  Rs.  68.54  crore  has  been  released, including Rs. 41.80 crore for megacity policing component for Chennai.

(d)& (e): The central Government has received request from the State Government  of  Tamil  Nadu  to  allot  Rs.  10,000  crore.  Further,  Rs. 12,379.30  crore  was  approved  by  the  Cabinet  Committee  on  Security (CCS)  under  the  Scheme  for  all  States  for  5  year  period  i.e.  2012-17. Funds allocated by Ministry of Finance under MPF Scheme are distributed as per CCS approved pre-decided formula (Pro-rata basis). For the current Financial Year, the State Government of Tamil Nadu has allocation of Rs. 27.96 for equipment, out of which, Rs. 26.74 crore has been released.  In addition to this, funds to the tune of Rs. 4.35 crore has been allocated for weaponry  to  be  supplied  through  Ordnance  Factory  Board.  Since  no additional funds are provided for the Scheme, it is not possible to allocate additional funds requested by the State Govt. of Tamil Nadu.

(f)    Other measures taken by the Central Government to modernize state police forces include Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems(CCTNS),  operating  a  nationwide  Satellite  network  for  police communication, implementation of National Emergency Response System, etc.
