SHILLONG: The State government has decided to form a citizens’ committee at the state and police station level for better policing, a police official said.
The idea of forming the citizens’ committee is to improve the quality of policing and better communication between the citizens’ and the state police, the official said.
“We need the support of the citizens for providing better police service and therefore, we have decided to form this committees by November,” Meghalaya DGP N Ramachandran told UNI.
In the committees eminent people from the community would be the members, especially the traditional heads who would be able to provide better road maps for effective policing.
”The members would be apolitical persons to avoid unnecessary allegations of being politically influenced in any of the decisions taken,” he said.
He said the formation of the committees at the different police stations would ‘help the quality of policing’ and ensure better cooperation between the citizen and the government. (UNI)
