।।। किस्सा खाकी का: कहानी एक साल की ।।।

16 जनवरी, 2023 जगह: दिल्ली पुलिस मुख्यालय, नई दिल्ली दिल्ली पुलिस के “किस्सा खाकी का” के समारोह में जाने का मेरा अनुभव काफी दिलचस्प रहा क्योंकि  मैंने इससे पहले कभी इतने सारे पुलिसकर्मियों को और उनके बड़े – बड़े अधिकारीयों को एक साथ एक जगह पर अपनी आंखों के सामने नहीं देखा था । “किस्सा खाकी का” उन सारी कहानियों से मिलकर बना है जो साहस और इंसानियत से लबरेज़ हैं। समारोह की शुरुवात वर्तिका नंदा की आवाज़ में बनाई गई एक छोटी-सी वीडियो से हुई जिसमे “किस्सा खाकी का” के एक साल के सफर को दर्शाया गया। इस समारोह में उन पुलिसकर्मियों को सम्मानित भी किया गया जिनकी कहानियां अब तक इस पॉडकास्ट का हिस्सा बनी हैं। कार्यक्रम के मुख्य केंद्र में थीं – दिल्ली पुलिस की आवाज़- वर्तिका नंदा — उन्होंने अपने भाषण में  कहा कि ” अब पुलिस का एक हिस्सा जर्नलिज्म को जान गया है, समझ गया है जो कि जर्नलिस्ट के लिए एक चुनौती हैं क्योंकि अब दिल्ली पुलिस – जर्नलिज्म भी जानती है और कानून भी “। “किस्सा खाकी का” के माध्यम से ऐसा पहली बार हुआ है कि अब पुलिस की खुद की अपनी एक आवाज़ है। दिल्ली पुलिस ने सोशल मीडिया प्लेटफार्म पर अपनी जड़े इतनी मज़बूत कर ली हैं की अब उन्हें अपनी कहानियों को जनता तक पहुंचाने के लिए किसी और की ज़रूरत नहीं है। दिल्ली पुलिस की अब अपनी खुद की एक आवाज़ है और अपना खुद का एक प्लेटफार्म। यह एक ऐसी अनूठी पहल है जो दिल्ली पुलिस से पहले कभी किसी पुलिस विभाग द्वारा नहीं चलाई गई। दिल्ली पुलिस कमिश्नर संजय अरोड़ा ने दिल्ली पुलिस के हौसले को बढ़ाया और दिल्ली पुलिस की सोशल मीडिया टीम के परिश्रम को सराहा। उन्होंने कहा कि वर्तिका नंदा अब दिल्ली पुलिस की आवाज हैं और उनके निस्वार्थ काम के लिए हम उनके आभारी हैं। इस अवसर पर दिल्ली पुलिस की तरफ से विशेष समारोह का आयोजन किया गया जिसमे दिल्ली पुलिस कमिश्नर संजय अरोड़ा के द्वारा “किस्सा खाकी का” के सफर पर लिखी गई पुस्तक को प्रस्तुत किया गया। इस किताब का नाम है – “किस्सा खाकी का” – वर्ष एक स्मृतियां अनेक । इसके साथ ही साथ दिल्ली पुलिस के अनसुने किस्सों को जनता के सामने लाने वाली मधुर आवाज वर्तिका नंदा को भी सम्मन्नित किया गया। दिल्ली पुलिस के साहस और वर्तिका नंदा के मधुर स्वर और उनके परिश्रम के बदौलत आज “किस्सा खाकी का” सफलतापूर्वक इस मुकाम तक पहुंचा है। दिल्ली पुलिस इकलौती ऐसी पुलिस है जिसने डिजिटल प्लेटफार्म के माध्यम से अपनी अनसुनी कहानियों और असाधारण सेवाओं को दिल्लीवासियों तक पहुंचाना चाहा। जिसमे वो सफल भी रही। मेरी नज़र में “किस्सा खाकी का” दिल्ली पुलिस अधिकारियो के लिए एक वरदान साबित होगा। ॉ मैं अपनी बात को दिल्ली पुलिस के ही एक अधिकारी की कही गई पंक्ति से खत्म करना चाहूंगी- “में खाकी हूं , में किस्सा हूं , में दिल्ली पुलिस का हिस्सा हूं”। अब जब कभी भी कोई दिल्ली पुलिस को पढ़ना चाहेगा या उसे अच्छे से समझना या जानना चाहेगा तो उसके रास्ते में “किस्सा खाकी का” ज़रूर आयेगा। मेहविश राशिद पॉलिटिकल साइंस विभाग की छात्रा दिल्ली विश्वविद्यालय
