CID CRIME BRANCH - “OPERATION  MUSKAAN”

 

 

 

A special campaign “Operation Muskaan” was undertaken by officials of CID Crime Branch during the month of July, 2015 to rescue and rehabilitate the missing/abandoned children in Puducherry.

 

The particulars of all the untraced Missing Children of Puducherry U.T. since 2000 were collected by the officials of CB CID.  A special team under Inspector A. Kahidhaasam was formed to visit public places, to rescue missing/abandoned children and to rehabilitate them by handing over them to the Shelter Homes after producing them before the CWC, Puducherry.  Second team was formed under Inspector N. Selvam assisted by PSI N. Santhosh to visit all the Child Care Homes in Puducherry and Karaikal to screen the children in Shelter Homes, for missing children.

 

As a part of “Operation Muskaan”, the Officials of CID Crime Branch, Social Welfare Department, Child Welfare Committee and NGOs visited 67 Child Care Homes in Puducherry and Karaikal regions.  The orphans and rescued children were screened with missing children data. The particulars of Shelter Homes were collected.  It was found that 34 orphan children are staying in 15 different Shelter Homes in Puducherry and Karaikal regions.  Neither they know their parents nor their place of origination. Their identity could not be established. 

 

During “Operation Muskaan” total 14 Children were rescued from Streets, Railway Station, Temples, Beach, Park, etc.  They were produced before the Child Welfare Committee and were handed over to Sandosha Nanban, the Child Care Home as ordered by CWC.  Out of the 14 rescued children, the parents of 13 children were traced and they were reunited with their parents through CWC, Puducherry.

 

The particulars and photographs of 34 orphan children, suspected to be the missing children, were collected and the same have been uploaded in the Track Child Web Portal of Ministry of Women and Child Development, Govt. of India and also on the website of Puducherry Police.  The Staff of CB CID were also dispatched to the probable localities of such orphan children to trace their parents, but the efforts did not yield desired result.  The list of such children has been sent to the Chairperson, CWC Puducherry to conduct field verification of the available data of such orphans.  The effort to trace their parents and place of origination is underway.

 

           During the visits to Shelter Homes, it was found that 24 Child Care Institutions (19 in Puducherry and 5 in Karaikal) are functioning without valid license from the Competent Authority.  Hence, a letter enclosing the list of such Homes has been sent to the Director, Department of Social Welfare, Puducherry for taking appropriate action in the matter.

CRIME AGAINST WOMEN INITIATIVES

 

          The Puducherry Police have established a Rape Crisis Intervention Centre (RCIC) as a one step centre to deal with any rape case relating to women or child.

 

          To sensitise women, Puducherry Police held several programs for students in schools and colleges.  The sensitization programes at Sarvalaya School, Idhaya College, College of Nursing, East Coast Institute of Medical Sciences, Kanjimamunivar Arts & Science College, Bharathidasan Govt. College for Women received excellent response.

 

          Not only the students but even Police Officers were sensitized about women issues.  In a bid to educate police officers on legal procedures to deal with cases regarding crime against women and children, one day legal workshop was organised for Lady Police Officers and were sensitized them to register FIR showing due sensitivity whenever, a lady victim comes to Police Station.

 

           Puducherry Police shared the stage in panel discussion on Women’s Day at Hotel Surguru on 8th March 2015 to give message and sensitise the general public about women safety.

 

          The milestone of the project women’s safety was a self defence training module for girls conducted at Susilabai College which was a grand success as it was demonstrated in front of 1,200 students (from class 6th to class 12th).  In view of the increasing reports of violence and abuse against children and women, the self defence module was conducted, to defend themselves.  The self-defence module, gave courage and confidence to the girls. The simple ideas were shown for the protection.  S.P. Rachna Singh led the training with her team to give tips and gave demonstrations to the students.  They were given simple ideas like use of heir pin, attack on sensitive parts like eye brows, eyes, Adam’s apple, private part, etc.

 

         This would daze the assailant, giving them time to escape.  Simple Martial Art steps were also told which could be easily used by the girls to protect themselves.  On this occasion volunteers from NGO’s and Psychiatrists also addressed the students, listened to them, and also offered their support if the girls needed support on issue inside or outside their homes.  A list of important helpline numbers were also told to the students and the school management were requested to put all these numbers on their Notice Boards, so that more and more students could be made aware about these numbers.  This self-defence programe was highly appreciated by the students, public and the media. 

 

           On 04.08.2015 another self-defence and a programe against sexual harassment at work places was conducted at Athithi Hotel, where several self defence techniques, safety measures which could be adopted were told.  Also the sexual harassment at work place was defined and initiatives for their safety were briefed.

Such Care Takers may be from Friends, Relatives, Police, NGOs, Organizations, and Politics etc., as we deems fit. Hence, concept of selecting more than 3 or 5 or 10 Care-Takers as Emergency Contacts is must.
