Securing the safety of the Indian – police stations in India

I had to visit one of the Police stations in India, and that made me realize how long they go in ensuring the safety and the security of our countrymen.  Given that India is such a diverse country and people of the country move within the nation without major constraints, it becomes imperative to secure their safety and ensure that there are not treated badly within our own country.  The police have been empowered to ensure this and are actively involved in the process serving as the friend of the public as well as their savior sparing no effort to ensure that they do their job to the best of their abilities.

In particular the police stations in Uttar Pradesh, that I visited is very active in punishing any miscreants, thereby ensuring the happiness of the locals.  Given that the state has many villages where the literacy levels are considerably at a lower level, the role of the police becomes very important especially in crimes against women- including rape, child abuse, child marriage etc.   I could see the police are very supportive of the public and lend an ear to their miseries that they narrate and see what best they can do to sort out their problem.  Very recently in the backdrop of me reading news about the safety in the state, I could see how the officials at the police stations have performed their duty with such dedication.

However, one thing I want to mention here is that the police stations in India are not a place to be visited only by the wrong doers or the miscreants.  It is our right to walk into these government offices and express our unhappiness or grief and the police officers look into the matter immediately.  I would always suggest to all friends and acquaintances that we need to leave no stone unturned in getting justice for our own needs as this is the right of every citizen of the country.  This is in fact one of our fundamental rights, and we as educated citizens should not let go of this at any cost.

The police stations in Uttar Pradesh are all empowered to take complaints and register FIR.  So, when I, for example, give a complaint in one station, today, because of the technological advancement, the police are able to nab the criminals by passing on the information to the other stations.  I did not that these stations today have specific cells for cybercrime, women cells etc. that are all empowering us to step out with more safety and security and helping us to conduct our life more peacefully.
