With an aim to check crimes against women such as domestic violence, police in the Rohtak range, have decided to form a group of skilled women at every village falling under the area.

The Rohtak range comprises of Rohtak, Jhajjar, Sonepat, Panipat and Karnal districts.

Inspector general of police of Rohtak range, V Kamaraja, said today that these groups will not only make the people aware of preventing woman-related crime in their villages, but also be constantly in touch with the police to give tip-off regarding crime against women.

He said five educated women of every village would be inducted in a group.

"The group would also inform the police immediately in case of any incident of women-related crime takes place in their village so that police action could be taken in time," he said.

"The women groups will also be associated with police investigation of women-related crime to get vital information of the cases," said the IGP, adding that a special toll-free number would be made available to these groups so that they could inform the police well in time about crime or its related information.

Kamaraja said a woman advocate, doctor and psychologist would also be associated with the police at district level, who would provide free legal and medical aid to the victim women besides giving them psychological counseling to boost their self confidence to fight against atrocities.

"Police chiefs of all the districts in the Range have been directed to send the name of at least five educated women from a village of their area at the earliest so that work could be started", the IGP said.
