Maliwal meets HM, seeks resetting of Thana-level committees

The Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) Chairperson Swati Maliwal on Wednesday met Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh and and appealed to reconstitute Thana Level Committees in the national Capital. She brought to his notice, the immense importance of these committees in fixing accountability of Delhi Police at grassroots to the people of the city, especially women.

“Maliwal Informed Singh about Lieutenant Governor (LG) recently scrapping Thana Level Committees in Delhi and that she feels that this decision is extremely anti-women.

“She also brought to the notice of Home Minister that Thana Level Committees have been in existence for years.

Earlier in 2014, LG  himself had praised these Thana Level Committees and she fails to understand as to what has transpired in the last year that has caused him to scrap them,” said a DCW official.
