Superintendent of police Raman Gupta addressing the citizens’ forum meeting at Bhadravati on Saturday. Probationary officer Sinha and Dy.SP HD Mendoza look on
Policing can be more effective with the cooperation of the public, NGOs and other associations, said superintendent of police Raman Gupta. He was replying the queries raised members of the citizens’ forum on Saturday evening in the citizen forum meeting held in the premises of the circle inspector’s office.
Police will certainly keep a watch on organized crimes. Few members pointed out the problems existing which are not related to police department. However, the officials will make sincere attempt to interact with the concerned departments and try to solve those problems also, he assured.
Veteran social worker Javarappa who spoke earlier asserted that the police should try and solve the disputes through conciliation and compromise at the police station level instead of registering the case soon after receiving a complaint of a non-genuine nature.
State convener of Karnataka Dalit Sangharsha Samiti (DSS) Sathya insisted to continue the district level DSS leaders’ meeting usually conducted at the SP’s office in Shimoga once in six months at least. He also suggested putting up barricades at Prof. B Krishnappa circle in the bypass road to avoid traffic perplexity and added that police department should organize “untouchables’ month” to bring awareness in the society to eradicate the social evil – untouchability.
Veteran sportsman H Ramegowda pointed out that the new bridge road was in a very bad shape and needed immediate attention of the municipality. He also opined that the police should initiate stringent action against those who were disrespecting aged ones forgetting the humanitarian ethics.
Councilor Mehaboob Sab urged the SP to one more sub inspector on duty and provide additional vehicle since the limit of Paper Town police station was vast. Reporter BS Sudheendra nitpicked that security for the government and police officials needed to be stepped up in the wake of recent attacks on government officials who were discharging their duties sincerely, citing the example of attack on food and civil supplies officials who tried to seize the unauthorized LPG cylinders and the following political interference when the Tahsildar initiated actions against the offenders.
Convener of Geleyara Balaga HR Gundurao drew the attention of the SP towards the hasty step taken to demolish the buildings on both sides of B.H. Road and the negligence shown in further development of the road. Railway board zonal consultative committee member and former deputy mayor Mohammed Sanaulla moaned that the approach road to railway station from B.H.Road was always blocked by vegetable vendors and the transportation vehicles like hurdles in the way of commuters who were anxious to reach the railway station. He also insisted that police should mercilessly take action against the political conspiracy to disturb the peace and cut the tail of vandalism after collecting intelligence report on such issues.
Peer Shariff from Anjuman Islahul Muslimeen, MS Sureshappa from BJP, Chinnaiah from DSS Shimoga district unit, V Kadiresh (councilor), BS Jagadish from Bar association, Muneer Ahmed from Anwar colony and many other elites expressed their opinion in the meeting and lauded the efforts of SP to stop gambling dens in Shimoga. They also urged that similar action was necessary in Bhadravati also.
Probationary officer Sinha, DySP Henry D Souza Mendoza, circle inspector (rural) Venugopal and many other police officers were present. Hosamane sub inspector K Kumar welcomed and anchored the programme as well. Circle inspector (town) HS Suresh proposed a vote of thanks.
