Description
The Ernakulam Rural police are in the final stages of designing a community policing scheme exclusively for the migrant labour community in its limits. Yatish Chandra, Superintended of Police, Ernakulam Rural, is slated to convene an internal security meeting next week to form a database of the migrant labour settlements in the region. “The database will comprise details of the labour camps, number of inhabitants in each of the camps, among others,” said a top officer. The scheme, already under way on a trial basis in two police stations - Kalady and Perumbavoor, is slated for a formal launch next month. It envisages cooperation of the police and labourer community in security matters. The scheme will be implemented by appointing beat officers and assistant beat officers, who are required to co-ordinate activities against anti-social elements and crimes in the labour camps. Welfare measures like medical camps and awareness programmes to counter violence will also be started in these areas. As part of it, policemen will be imparted basic training in Hindi to enable their interaction with the migrant workers.
