Women in constable in Bihar...

Nitish Kumar's decision to reserve 35 pc of women in constable
recruitments(April 12) is a welcome step.Nitish Kumar had earlir
reserved 50 per cent of posts in urban and rual elected bodies for
women and also made 50pc reservations for women in the primary
co-operative societies.The government decision to recruit 815 women
sub-inspectors and 9117 women constables will go a long way in
empowering women in a big way in Bihar and hope other states too would
copy Bihar Model of policing by women.

Government decision to create women desks in all the police stations
will motivate the hesistant women to register their complaints with
the police.Bihar government had already posted about a dozen IPS
officers as heads in different districts.Image of Bihar police will
definitely change.

Posting and appointment of women is not enough,but the work culture
should also improve.Bihar CM will have to assure the women police
officers will not copy their male counterparts in hurling choices
abuses,harassing and thrashing the commonman

Police job by nature makes them behave in that way.Wish the
policewomen would be different from their male counterparts in dealing
with the law abiding citizens.They can be ruthless with the criminals
,but with the commonman,they would be sensitive like a sister or
mother.

MY DREAMS AND MY THOUGHTS: Shame for Bihar

MY DREAMS AND MY THOUGHTS: Shame for Bihar

Shame for Bihar

It is shocking .Two youths from Muzaffarpur and Sitamarhi have been
found involved in criminal asault on a five-year-old girl of
Gandhinagar in New Delhi.A bus conductor from Aurangabad was arrested
on charges of murdering and assaulting an young girl in New Delhi in
December last year.He is in Tihar Jail now.Another youth from Banka is
charged with raping a four-year-od girl in Seoni in Madhya
Pradesh.What will be the reputation of Bihar.They have literally
blacklisted  the youths of Bihar.Will they get accommodation on rent
,will they get jobs?.There will be question marks on the young boys
from Bihar elsewhere .

They have brought condemnation to the Bihari youths,who are known for
their hard work and sincerity.The actions of such youths have cast a
doubt on them now.

The parents of the youths in Bihar,paticularly from the rural areas
must be cautious now.One section of the society from North Bihar
district was already branded as terrorists by the National
Investigation Agency for involveent of some youths in bomb blasts and
terror activities in different parts of the country.And,the latest
incidents of involvement of youths in rape cases outside the state has
caused further harm.The villagers must keep guard of the youths and
the elders who take such youths to the national capital or elsewhere
for employment should be careful about their activities.Youths of
other states may be involved in crimes like murder and rape,but the
series of incidents involving Bihari youth in now high-profile cases
has put Bihar in a tarnished image.

And ,a conference on Live In relations at a premier educational
institution.Was it pertinent to organise a conference on this topic at
this stage?
