He has directed the SSP to draw up a work plan and take effective steps in controlling crime against women in general and harassment of women under SC/ST category in particular. The SSP has also been directed to get a list of property related crime in the district committed during the past five years prepared under each police station and take effective preventive steps in all the cases.
The DIG has also directed the SSP to make assessment of crime under each police station in the district separately and take punitive action against the officials concerned for their failure including ASPs, circle officers and station officers.
A list of criminals with rewards on their head, mafia groups and listed gangs has also been sought to be prepared.
This includes identification of 20 hard core criminals and their arrest.It may be mentioned that senior officers of the district including the DGP made their reaction following assessment of crime in two phases.
