Mir, ITANAGAR, June 16: Home Minister Tanga Byaling
has said that his first and foremost priority is to “rectify” the twin capital
town of Itanagar and Naharlagun on law and order front to make it a crime-free
capital.
Holding
a discussion with the Councilors of Itanagar
Municipal Council here today to elicit their opinion on how to put
things right in the capital.
Taking
it as a “big challenge”, he uttered “why peace and order can’t be restored in
the capital” and urged all the stakeholders including the councilors to bear
the “collective responsibility” for an effective policing.
Acknowledging
the various suggestions put forward by the councilors and top-ranking civil and
police officers, the Home Minister reiterated his zero-tolerance stance to
crime, saying “I will not tolerate the law-breakers – be they relatives of
Ministers/MLAs or higher-ups or any officers. Moreover, police and magistrates
should not show any leniency to criminals.”
He
also assured to establish police beat posts in at least 15 out of 30 wards in
Itanagar municipality to keep a vigil on law-breakers. To another suggestion,
he said that half of the crimes and law and order problems will be minimized
upon installation of CCTV cameras and
high-mast lighting system in vulnerable points.
While
commenting that Itanagar was the “mirror” of Arunachal
Pradesh, Parliamentary Secretary for Home, Likha Saaya said we can transform
the face of Itanagar by putting our joint efforts to make it a crime-free
capital.
Heeding
to the call from the Home Minister, all the councilors led by their Chief Councilor Higio Aruni turned out for today’s
meeting and expressed their desire to be an active part of the machinery for
upkeep of law and order situation, besides sharing their grievances and
suggestions.
