The National Public Safety Commission and Provincial Public Safety and Police Complaints Commission will be headed by the Interior and Home Minister with powers of recommendation, so it is yet to be seen to what extent the Commission will b effective in its functioning. It is also perceived in some quarters that this body will dilute the authority of provincial governments, which are constitutionally responsible for the maintenance of law and order in the provinces. Since government minister with recommendatory powers heads the Commission, its effectiveness will largely depend upon the political will of the provincial and federal governments. Its oversight functions are liable to be compromised and its PGR role will not expand. An alternate viewpoint sees it as a self-serving and superfluous argument from the vested interests, who wanted control over micro-management of policing decisions, e.g. transfers and posting rather than monitoring quality of service and performance. They don’t want to concede operational autonomy and view the changes as zero sum game. However, recent amendments in Police Order seemingly expand the grievance redress function of the district Commissions.
