Nagaland DGP Rupin Sharma today said that Nagaland Police is planning to install facial recognition cameras, surveillance cameras, CCTV cameras in public places in the major towns of Nagaland.
“Hopefully, this will make the lives of women and children much more safer in Nagaland in times to come,” said Sharma while talking to media persons here today.
On being asked about the preventive measure being taken by police on the rising sexual assault cases in Nagaland, he said, “Those cases, if public reports to us, we will be able to prevent.”
“It is very difficult to prevent all this unless the police is informed,” he added.
Sharma said that Police has initiated the normal thing of increasing patrolling. “But I think it is more important that the victims of assault or the family members, they should start reporting to police or to the authorities,” he said.
Meanwhile, expressing concerned about the safety and well being of women, children and all vulnerable members of the society, Wangpang Konyak, MLA and Advisor, Department of Social Welfare, Nagaland, said, “Crime against women and children is a serious violation of human dignity and fundamental nights.”
In fact, no human being deserves to be violated against their will, he said this while speaking in an official programme in Kohima on Friday. He urged the investigating agency to make no stone unturned to ensure justice at the earliest in the recent cases of child abuse and sexual harassment in the state.
