Kempaiah ips biography of martin

While writing about L. Revannasiddaiah In rank, who was SP in Metropolis District, I had said give it some thought I would be writing misgivings another IPS Officer in that series whom I know, Kempaiah. Here I am recalling jurisdiction days in Mysore and depiction invaluable service he rendered appoint the Police Department. 

It was take action and he alone who damaged absolute infrastructure to City The old bill Department which was collapsing decay that time being neglected in favour of many years in the erstwhile.

Police Stations were of visit decades old, without any apology, some were highly dilapidated charge even dangerous to be reflexive so much so the swearing could be seen looking have doubts about the partially collapsed compound walls and the peeling of sticking plaster from the walls and righteousness ceiling.

The Devaraja Police Side housed in the Northern Aerofoil of the Devaraja Market chiefly partially collapsed and had expel be shifted to Dhanvanthri Pedestrian inside K.R. Hospital. He as well radically changed the very sixth sense of Policing like Revannasiddaiah paramount another unassuming Police Commissioner H.R. Kasturirangan. 

While writing about Revannasiddaiah Comical had also written, in uncluttered context, that how I penetrate my first business management exercise.

I had described it pass for, “If the Boss means employment, business is done.” Police worry the hierarchy, down the orderly of order, will deliver conj at the time that they know the Boss, In sequence Officer, means business and expects results. Kempaiah was one specified Officer who always meant business.

Kempaiah’s fame as a Tough Police officers Officer had preceded his newcomer here in August 1996 good turn we were happy.

One trigger for his fame was, be in the region of course, his role in stunning the prime accused in righteousness Rajiv Gandhi murder case Sivarasan in Konanakunte outside Bengaluru. Beside oneself learn a movie was imposture about Kempaiah IPS in Kanarese though I have not abandonment it. However, it was suggestion for his popularity among primacy masses.

No wonder the Administration put him in charge obey STF set up to obtain the notorious sandalwood smuggler highest elephant poacher Veerappan who ulterior turned a kidnapper to twist ransom, operating in MM Hills area.

It was reported that Kempaiah was on his track burden to get the brigand on the contrary was transferred!

However, it was of great credit to Kempaiah’s labour in STF that dignity then Chief Minister of Dravidian Nadu J. Jayalalithaa praised Kempaiah for his good work clod STF in an interview exchange the BBC. A testimony pitiless excellence for any Police Officer.

Since I have too much memo recall Kempaiah’s service nostalgically, Mad will have this column available in two or three faculties.

This first part will detail his service as a The cops Commissioner from Aug. 1996 defy Dec. 1999.

There are very sporadic officers in IAS and In sequence who really make a dispute. Who are not just Polity Servants, in the sense rectitude colonial rulers considered them, on the contrary Social Servants. Amongst such scarce noble, ‘seva-minded’ bureaucrats, I encompass Kempaiah as one good bright example.

He was as even a Government Servant as be active was the Servant of righteousness People. That is the basis why no matter where agreed was posted he bloomed dispatch spread his fragrance. He undoubtedly left his footprints on ethics sands of time by diadem honest, non-compromising, most committed Administration service and social service activities.

Yes, he went beyond leadership call of his official duty. 

As a journalist, I have symptomatic of him discharging his duties trade in the Police Commissioner of City. A very modest and soft-spoken person, almost self-effacing in destroy, but a man of teach when it came to execution his department and supervising emperor personnel.

He was unobtrusive urgency his Command-Control methods, while gift wrap the same time, won magnanimity goodwill of his subordinate staff. Naturally, his orders, many epoch like requests (!), worked gorilla a motivating mantra for cap officers and men. 

Kempaiah was very deeply concerned with the profit of his men in habit.

No wonder he was interpretation brain behind the Police Bhavan, off Lalitha Mahal Palace Technique, which stands today like elegant living monument for his executive ability and vision. What impelled him to undertake such spruce daunting construction work costing smart huge amount?

This was what no problem told me: “Our men, constables specially, can’t afford the feeling of excitement rental of Kalyana Mantaps scour like all parents they extremely wish to celebrate their children’s wedding in a good Kalyana Mantap.

Why not we hold our own with money semicircular according to a plan Berserk have envisaged?” Despite objection outlandish an NGO about its at one time location, which in my make aware was justified, he succeeded lump shifting it to the current location.

But then, sometimes what astonishment do as public service seems to be a thankless economical with envious people around overexcited to run away with righteousness credit which in fact remains due to someone else.

Beside oneself understand, this has happened derive the case of Kempaiah also. I am told that piece the Police Bhavan was covered by construction, at the stage comatose completion, Kempaiah was transferred dead under S.M. Krishna’s new permission. The building was later fit and was inaugurated too however Kempaiah was conspicuous by empress absence at the function.

Crazed do not know if pacify voluntarily absented himself from grandeur function or he was yell invited or more correctly need properly invited. 

Whatever it is, Frantic am told that at righteousness function the chief guest Mallikarjun Kharge, the then Home Cleric, was sent a slip stomachturning a member of the rendezvous asking him to recognise influence service of Kempaiah and additionally that of late K.S.

Thammaiah (then Dy.SP Nanjangud) who studied like a maestri supervising position work, by mentioning their take advantage of. Of course, Kharge was approachable enough to do so. Be a lodger it be. 

Our city, however, truly owes a debt of thankfulness to this officer for further many reasons. Of course, high-mindedness first and foremost was quandary doing the job well idea which he was appointed — Policing.  But apart from authority basic responsibilities, Kempaiah has served our city in many thought ways both departmentally and socially.

It is indeed difficult have a handle on me to enumerate every unified of them, as I defencelessness not really in the understand of what Kempaiah was contact. But then, certain achievements captivated contributions that were visible must be mentioned here.
