ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS (SHRI NITYANAND RAI)

(a) and (b) 'Police' and 'Public Order' are State subjects as per the Seventh Schedule  of  the  Constitution  of  India.  However,  the  Central  Government supplements the efforts of the State Governments towards equipping and modernizing  their  police  forces,  by  providing  financial  assistance  under the renamed scheme of 'Assistance to States and Union Territories(UTs) for  Modernisation  of  Police(ASUMP)'  [erstwhile  scheme  of  'Assistance  to States for Modernisation of Police(ASMP)'].

Regarding infrastructure like vehicles, communication devices, computer, mobile, internet facility, toilet, drinking water facility and CCTV cameras, the States and UTs have been advised to take appropriate action through various  advisories,  including  recent  advisories  dated  13.04.2022  and 09.09.2022. Crime and Criminal Tracking Network & Systems (CCTNS) has been deployed in police stations in all States /UTs.

Details of non-availability of vehicles and communication devices, State/UT-wise is at Annexure-I. However, names of police stations which are  deficient  in  these  equipment  and  information  relating  State-wise number of police stations with/without internet facility, toilet and drinking water facility is not maintained centrally.

(c) The State and year-wise details of funds released by the Government of  India  under  the  scheme  of  'Assistance  to  States  for  Modernisation  of Police  (ASMP)',  since  the  year  2014 -15,  are  at  Annexure-II.  As  per guidelines  for  release  of  funds  of  the  Centrally  Sponsored  Schemes,  for release of an installment to a State, unspent balance out of Central and State shares should not be more than 25% of the current year allocation. None  of  the  States  could  be  released  funds  during  the  current  financial year as they have substantial unspent balance. Total unspent balance of the States is Rs.742.10 crore as on 16.12.2022.
