Bengaluru: Women's safety - DCM tells to increase police patrolling in plainclothes


Daijiworld Media Network - Bengaluru (SP)

Bengaluru, Jul 20: Karnataka deputy chief minister (DCM), Dr G Parameshwar, has instructed senior police officers to increase the number of police personnel in plainclothes on patrol duty to bring down cases of atrocities over women in the state. He issued this instruction during the second meeting about app-based taxi services, which was held at his office on Thursday July 19.

Parameshwar noted that ensuring safety of women who use app-based taxi services is very important and that it should be ensured that atrocities on women never happen when using these services. He asked the police to hold discussions with the concerns operating such services and take suitable steps to improve safety aspects relating to women.

The DCM noted that although there have been a number of laws and programmes aimed at handling atrocities on women, there is lack of proper knowledge about them among the people. He therefore, asked the officials to see that knowledge about the laws governing women's safety, programmes and information about the helpline effectively reach the populace through advertisements. Noting that there are enough grants under Nirbhaya scheme, he asked the police to use this grant to buy 5,000 CCTV cameras, a thousand two-wheelers, as well as jeeps and deploy additional police in plain clothes for patrolling during nights to keep an eye on such activities.

Parameshwara also held discussions with a delegation from Bavaria, a federal state in Germany, which has offered to train Belagavi police during November this year. Similar training had been imparted for Mysuru police earlier. He wanted the delegation to come up with ideas to increase the number of police stations and also percentage of women personnel in police force.

    Dear Sir, we should hold talks with youngsters and men and train them to Respect women in Society. How much will police do too, as their department is running short of staff as well. Good idea is to train Moral Policing Gangs to protect women from atrocities, since they already have a knack of it. Seriously employ them on contract basis, with proper training to handle women just like how they would do to their women at their own homes. Once this is done, our society is surely a safe abode for any woman at any time of the day or night.!!!
    Anyways Politicians are busy fighting for seats n berths. Once elected and they get a seat, then they get busy fighting over some past which does not matter much. Not a single day / single incident at any Parliament have we heard politicians fighting about development matter of people. We the People come as their last option of discussion anyways.!!
    Another thought- make karate classes compulsory for students in classes, boys n girls, every single student should learn karate. So self protection becomes best protection..!!

    Best thing for the defence is having a firearm in hand. Govt should make it a lot easier for women to own firearm.
