Now,women police personnel to carry out survey

The women personnel,drawn from the Rapid Action Force (RAF) of the police that remains at the disposal of the Director General of Police and is used for purposes like tackling protests,is being deployed for the house-to-house survey.

Deswal said the move to deploy the woman police personnel was to bring police service to people’s doorsteps. The survey comes after residents,particularly the senior citizens,fail to report cases of tenants at the concerned police station. Deswal said the police,instead of taking action against the ‘owners of the house-holds,would approach them to build a data base of tenants and domestic servants in the city.” The matter was discussed at the meeting of the police,on Friday,in which station house officers of different police stations participated,police said. They added that visits by the RAF personnel would begin in the next few days. The survey will be carried out in the afternoon for 2-3 hours each day.
