If you come across the North-Eastern regional television channels these days every alternate day you would come across a channel focusing on the news of Police Officer taking bribe under the head Sting operation. They try to prove these policeman greater culprits than even Dawood Ibrahim. I am not opposing this act of the news channels but they did their job focusing the truth as Bribery is recognized as a crime by the Indian Penal Code. But news channels are sworn to be unbiased. What happens to these news channels when these policemen are doing something good for the society. Just today while I was coming from one part of the Guwahati City to another my eyes stuck on the scenario when a Police constable was helping two small children cross a busy street. Just then I saw a news channel vehicle pass the street. They did act blind to the scenario. Are they sworn to publish only wrong deeds? The publications by the digital media have created a wrong scenario in the eyes of the society regarding the Police Personnel. The media never publishes how hard they go when they are in duty or they never care to publish their pay slip. They neither publish the hardships related to a Cop's life nor will they publish their instances of bravery. The media comes to action when the Police Personnel is related to mere acts like bribery or not wearing helmet while riding. When we browse the world around us, we will spot numerous incidents when these Policemen saves the dignity and honor of their uniform helping the society. Hope for a unbiased media soon that shall take no pain to display the right doings of these men in uniform. I don't have any relative or close friend serving the Indian Police; but still I can purely understand their life. Salute to those men in Uniform.
