CHANDAMPET (NALGONDA): Additional Director General (Training) of Gujarat Kuldeep Sharma has complimented the district police for organising rallies against the sale of baby girls in tribal hamlets and appreciated its initiative on the front of community policing.

Addressing a public meeting after inaugurating a Kabaddi tournament for tribal students at the naxal-affected Chandampet village on Tuesday, he said, "The attempt of the Police Department to create awareness among tribals is a praiseworthy job. With collective effort by all departments we can wipe out such inhuman practices." In some pockets of Gujarat, one of the progressive States, baby girls are being killed, according to the officer.

Feedback

Mr. Sharma visited the district to study the initiatives being undertaken by Superintendent of Police M.M. Bhagwat as part of community policing. He evinced keen interest to know the objectives and feedback of various programmes being implemented in the district. He gave away cheques to two surrendered naxalites, Kukkala Vijaya and Maska Govindu.

The SP said that community policing would help police wean away youngsters from naxalism. The SP launched a new programme, christened `Sahrudayam' (noble heart) by distributing clothes to the Chechus residing at Gannerlapally village. Mr. Bhagwat also declared that a 15-day camp would be organised to impart training to youngsters in security aspects.

"After the training you will be appointed as security officers at corporate houses in Hyderabad. You can avail the programme to find an employment opportunity," he advised unemployed youth.

Observing that citizens were the arms of society, the SP advised villagers against giving shelter to naxalites. "If you have any problem, please contact officers. If you entertain naxals, we are going to book you," he warned. Officer on Special Duty, P. Viswaprasad asked the teachers to give their best to impart quality education to tribals students, who lack basic amenities in thandas.

Devarakonda DSP, M. Srininvas, CI K. Manohar and Chandampet SI K. Srinivas also spoke. About 100 students from various schools in the sub-division took part in the two-day Kabaddi tournament.
