Mangalore, Feb 3: Increase in patrolling and creation of a separate sub-division in the district will help keep check on all kinds of atrocities against women said Abhishek Goyal, SP, Dakshina Kannada.
Speaking about the increased number of eve-teasing instances and cases of sexual assaults, at the monthly SC/ST grievances meet held at his office on Sunday, Mr. Goyal said that subtle changes in the policing process will make huge difference.
“Earlier there was just one sub-division in the entire DK district. Now a Bantwal sub-division has been created. The district will also have two DySPs now. This will help in faster disposal of cases. We will also be increasing patrolling and implementing measures such as the Cheetah patrolling vehicles. The government is also contemplating strict rules with regard to exploitation of women”, Mr. Goyal said.
Complaints of women being targeted, continued to pour in at the meet, however. The issue of a certain Dinesh Gowda attempting to rape a Koraga girl in Modapady village of Sullia Taluk was brought to the notice of the SP.
The accused had still not been arrested by the police although a complaint was registered with the Sulllia (Rural) Police Station, Dalit representatives said.
The SP promised action at the earliest.
