Ballari: For the first time, a separate complaint desk for women will be set up in all the police stations of Ballari.

In several cases, women are apprehensive to register police complaints and this initiative by the district police comes as a welcome change.

“Fear and hesitation stop many women from visiting police stations. They think that it is difficult to explain everything to male police personnel who can be a little rough at times. To overcome such issues and create a women-friendly environment, we are planning a separate desk,” Ballari Superintendent of Police Saidulu Adavath was quoted speaking to The New Indian Express.

“The police will train the staff on communication and interactions. These desks will be headed by female police constables. In 39 police stations across the district, a separate desk for women is already set up,” he added.
