The officer in-charges of Police stations acrossAssamhave been directed to adopt a “zero Tolerance” policy while dealing withcrimes against Women.
Chief ministerHimanta Biswa Sarma, while addressing the first-ever conference with the officers in-charge (OCs) of all police stations on “redefining policing standards in Assam”, directed the OCs to file chargesheets in all rape, molestation, assault, murder, arms and drugs smuggling cases at the earliest for speedy trial.
He also directed the OCs to collect post mortem reports expeditiously while saying that range DIGs would ensure post mortem report collection as soon as possible. “Steps have to be taken to send samples for testing at forensic labs outside the state for minimising delay as the only forensic lab in Guwahati is not sufficient,” he said.
