Hyderabad Police Commissioner Vows Zero Tolerance on Women and Child Safety
Imagine a meeting where the top police leader in Hyderabad, Mr. Sajjanar, talked with the police officers who help women and children.
He said that keeping women and kids safe is super important and there's absolutely no room for mistakes.
He looked at how they've been handling cases, especially sad ones involving women and children.
He told the officers to be very kind and understanding when talking to victims, like they are helping a friend.
He also said they need to really dig into the cases, not just write them down and forget them.
If officers are lazy with serious cases like rape or child abuse, they will get in big trouble.
The police chief also wants more programs to teach everyone how to stay safe and for kids to know who to trust.
They will also work harder to protect kids who don't have homes or work in tough jobs.
Anyone who hurts women or children will face serious consequences.
Hyderabad Police Commissioner VC Sajjanar emphasized that there will be no compromise on the safety of women and children.
A review meeting focused on the performance of women's safety departments, including SHE teams and Bharosa.
Commissioner Sajjanar directed officers to treat victims with empathy and ensure thorough investigations.
Negligence in handling POCSO and rape cases will lead to strict action against officers.
The meeting highlighted the need for awareness programs, self-defense training, and enhanced protection for street children and child laborers.
