Himachal Pradesh Police is set to launch a website which will list the names of sex offenders, an official said here on Wednesday.
The police will maintain a register of sexual offenders and their names will be displayed on its official website, Inspector General (Law and Order) Sanjay Kundu said in a statement. "This will probably make Himachal the first state to adopt a standard procedure to deal with crime related to sexual offences," he said.
