With
the ban on beacon light to individual use, PM have done a commendable job. It was
really overdue. I know many dick and jack used to purchase it from their own money
and fit it on their vehicle, though they are not entitled. Police is reluctant to
check it for fear of repercussions. Now being banned altogether for personal
use, that nuisance is over now. But it is not enough.
There
is one more equally important area to be regularised which is also in my mind
for long. That is the ILLEGAL use of IAS, IPS, etc. with the name of officials.
It is not a military or educational distinction which can be conferred by the
state and to be used as titles under Article 18 of the Constitution of India.
It is only a service to which persons selected through the Union Public Service
Commission. UPSC conducts several selection examinations throughout the year.
These are meant for selecting persons to different posts. There is no pass or
fail. Selection is limited to the number of vacancy. IAS/IPS etc. is not even
the name of a post, but the initials of the service like INDIAN ADMINISTRATIVE
SERVICE, INDIAN POLICE SERVICE. Therefore, use of such abbreviations along with
the name in a deceptive manner is illegal and a fraudulent act.

If
the short form of the service like IAS/IPS can be used as titles with personal name, all
Government Servants can also follow this practice of adding the abbreviations
of their service no matter he is group A, B, C, or D since they belong to one
or the other Service. Examples of abbreviations are:
- CENTRAL CIVIL SERVICE: CCS,
- INDIAN RAILWAY SERVICE: IRS
- INDIAN STATISTICAL SERVICE:
ISS
- INDIAN ENGINEERING SERVICE :IES
- ETC, ETC….
