URGENT PRESS STATEMENT.
POLICE REFORMS WATCH
RE: POLICE REFORMS WATCH WELCOMES THE FORMATION OF THE POLICE COMPLAINTS
AUTHORITY WHICH WAS LONG OVERDUE.
POLICE REFORMS WATCH WILL TAKE UP THE ISSUE OF BURKING WHICH HAS BECOME
ENDEMIC WITH THE DGP, MAHARASHTRA AND
MUMBAI POLICE COMMISSIONER .
The Police Reforms Watch welcomes the formation of THE POLICE COMPLAINTS
AUTHORITY which was long overdue in the light of the Supreme Court directives
issued in 2006.
The Police Reforms Watch is however dismayed with the issue of "Burking" which
has become endemic in Mumbai Police Stations.
Police Reforms Watch will address the Burking issue with both the Director
General of Police, Maharashtra as also the Mumbai Police Commissioner.
We will also make the implementation of the Police Reforms an election issue
for the forthcoming 2014 elections.
Police Reforms Watch is an Umbrella for the movement of various voluntary
groups and activists committed to monitoring the implementation of Police
Reform. Towards this objective it will facilitate advocacy and interactive
engagement at the level of the Government, Police, Media and Citizens.
