BALANGIR STILL DEPRIVED
OF MAHILA POLICE STATION
People of Balangir have expressed deep concern
that the State Government is yet to pay any heed to their longstanding demand
for establishment of a Mahila police station here.“Mahila police stations have
been opened all over the country but the State Government has turned deaf years
to our demand,” said a social activist here.
He reminded that two years ago, Joint Registrar (Law) and Focal
Point Human Rights Defender, NHRC AK Parashar had expressed concern at a Mahila
Adhikar workshop held here over non opening of a Mahila police station in the
district.
The situation is that women generally fear to go alone to a
general police station to lodge a complaint if anything bad happens to her.
While women crime is increasing in proportion to the population, a Mahila
police station has been a need here, said a housewife.
However, the district police administration has not lost hope
for the same.The proposal for opening a Mahila police station has been sent to
Government, said Bolangir SP Ravi Prakash.
