According to law-and-order officials, the police’s primary responsibility is to gather information about potential activities in advance and take preventive measures, rather than act only after an incident has occurred.

Yet, one flash procession after another by banned political organisations shows that weaknesses remain in field-level intelligence gathering, information analysis and coordination among the relevant units. In particular, the failure to obtain advance information about subsequent programmes even after repeated processions in the same area, or the police arriving at the scene only after a procession has begun, raises questions about the force’s intelligence capabilities.

The election commission has tightened its scrutiny of corrections to block abnormal age adjustments. Secondary school certificates issued after 1996 and madrasah certificates issued after 1998 can be verified online. But where an applicant seeks to reduce an age by 15 years or more, decisions are not made on educational certificates alone. Family relationships and the consistency of the applicant’s age profile are also being examined.

Central to this is verification of the lineage or “family tree”. Officials cross-check whether an applicant ends up younger than their own child, whether the age gap between parent and child is abnormal, and whether the new age conflicts with the birth order of siblings.
