In Jammu and Kashmir, where government often complains that conflict overshadows every other activity of the administration, actions of the IGP traffic Basant Rath has outshined the government and the police. He has generated hope among people, admiration among his peers and unease at the top. So much so that Director General of the Police issued a letter to Rath admonishing him for his “unprofessional conduct.” He had upset his department for going out in civvies. Rath responded to the criticism in his own way: Addressing a function in Jammu, he said, the only thing they found worth criticism was his choice of clothes.
