The government will not tolerate atrocities by the police and stringent action will be taken against them, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said.
He was speaking after taking the salute at the passing-out parade of 36 Sub-Inspectors and 371 women police constables who completed training at the Kerala Police Academy, Ramavarmapuram, on Friday. He said 15 per cent of posts in the police force would be ensured for women. “The district-level women cells will be strengthened for women’s security,” Mr. Vijayan said.
He said women police personnel should give special attention to the safety of women. Issues concerning women should be taken seriously by the police, Mr. Vijayan added.
“Timely modernisation will be brought into police training. Atrocities by some members of the force show the need to change the training system. Even the Police Complaint Authority has pointed fingers at the behaviour of certain police personnel,” he said.
