Belagavi Police are taking several steps to bring police officers closer to citizens. As part of this drive to reach out to people, officers will work in coordination with residents of various areas, welfare associations, groups of professionals, students associations and others. These networking efforts will be online and offline.
On Wednesday, Station House officers of all the 32 police stations met wardens of boys and girls hostels in the government and private sector. This came in the wake of an incident in Chandigarh where an inmate shot videos in a bathroom.
Officers documented whether these hostels have perimeter walls, CCTVs and landline or mobile telephone connections. They asked the wardens to provide such infrastructure to their hostels.
