The Ernakulam Rural Police have embarked on a novel mass contact programme of sorts that aims at covering the entire population within their limits in a few years.
At the heart of it is a programme through which the district police headquarters reaches out to petitioners across all 34 police stations in the Rural police limits on a daily basis for feedback and rating. The initiative is in keeping with State Police Chief Sheikh Darvesh Sahib’s circular asking the police to put the focus on petitioners.
“Rather than presume that the circular is being enforced in the absence of any complaints from the petitioners, we wanted to be proactive and ensure its compliance in letter and spirit. The initiative will also inspire confidence among the petitioners who may otherwise keep their grievances about police stations to themselves,” said District Police Chief (Ernakulam Rural) Vaibhav Saxena.
