Odisha's Sundargarh district gets the first child-friendly police station

Soon after the government announced to set up child-friendly police stations, Rajgangpur Police Station became the first station to get one

The Odisha government has decided to set up child-friendly police stations across the state, to reduce the mental pressure of a child who could visit the station, in a high-level meeting chaired by CM Naveen Patnaik himself.

Initially, the child-friendly police station would be constructed one in each district, official statement quoted the approval of Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, who is also heading the home ministry department. There are 34 police districts in the state.

First child-friendly police station inaugurated

The first child-friendly police station of Sundargarh district under the scheme ‘Ama Khusi Ama Suraksha’ was inaugurated by IG Western range yesterday at Rajgangpur Police Station. Under the ‘Ama Khusi Ama Suraksha’ scheme, a platform will be developed to help children understand the daily functioning of the police station.

The scheme would be divided into three stages. The first stage includes development, where a child welfare officer would be deployed in each station to take care of the visiting kids. Two female staff trained in child counselling would be appointed to act as a link between the victim and the family in child abuse cases. The last stage will include community participation.

Police stations to be painted

Each police station will have chairs, tables, toys and first-aid kits for kids who would visit the station for any reason, the statement read. It further directed that police stations' walls would have paintings and informative pictures drawn on them.

The station would house children's books, magazines and newspapers, along with special logos and posters on child rights. The do’s and don’ts for the police personnel will also be put up at police stations across the states.

According to the statement released by the CMO Odisha, the name and contact details of child welfare officers and other related information would be displayed at the stations. They would also have special libraries for children.

Odisha Police had received 8.99 crore rupees to strengthen the women and children desks and anti-human trafficking units. Out of 8.99 crore rupees, women and children desks in 500 police stations got five crore rupees, and the remaining amount was given to AHTUs.

Lathi Charge: A legalised method of police brutality

"Every blow on our bodies this afternoon is like a nail driven into the coffin of British imperialism." These were the precise words of Sher-e-Punjab Lala Lajpat Rai when he got brutally " lathi-charged " by the law enforcers of Colonial India while he was protesting against the Simon Commission in October 1928.  Punjab Kesari Lajpat Rai eventually succumbed to his injuries, and his death gave off the spark for vengeance in the heart of numerous Indian revolutionaries. In December 1928, Shahid-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and his compatriot Shivam Rajguru assassinated the Lahore Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) John Saunders to avenge the murder of their mentor. "Lathi-Charge" has remained one of the most brutal and sensitive issues for Indians since the bygone days of the Indian National Movement. Thus, even after 75 years of liberation, India and her children continue to writhe under pain brought on by police brutality and paranoia. Both the Indian Penal

" India is an over populous country. " This statement is hardly news to anyone, but very few of us know that the average age of an Indian is just 29 years old. Hence, India is a fairly young country with a strong demographic dividend. However, the ambitions and dreams of millions of Indians lie stranded despite their ability and competence. Each new year brings fresh new hopes for millions of aspirants. These young people have expressed their strong will by deciding to dedicate the prime of their youth to preparing for numerous government examinations. In a country where social class divisions continue to be a notable phenomenon in determining one's future, Government jobs and recruitments offer the only genuine means for attaining an egalitarian society. Today, even this little scope for upliftment gets marred under the evils of Paper leaks and Recruitment scams. The problem of the youth, in essence, is the problem of the nation, and it is high time we illustrated the gr
