Empathy and CompassionImpartiality and Objectivity
There is a historical city in one of the districts of UP. Recently, it has been in news due to controversy on a report by a person of the city that there has been exodus of people only belonging to majority community although they are in minority in the city. The controversy is on the claim that the migration is only due to fear of the dominant community in the city and not due to other reasons such as search for better life, employment, safety and security due to gagsters menace and law and order problems. This has also been corroborated by a report on the issue by the NHRC, which has also become controversial. Interestingly, the city has always had communal harmony. It has seen no trace of communal tension even at a time when parts of UP witnessed a lot of violence and communal hatred during 2013. a) Suppose you are the District Magistrate of that district then what should be your immediate priorities and why? b) Discuss the role and significance of various stakeholders you will seek help and why? c) Discuss your courses of actions which will be able to not only provide short term solution but also be long lasting in establishing rule of law and peace and harmony in the city.
