Hisar, November 3

Hisar range IGP Anil Kumar Rao has appointed nodal officers to head the community liaisoning groups (CLGs) being constituted in five districts of the range to fight growing atrocities on the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.

The IGP said today that the police were in the process of setting up CLGs under each police station in Hisar, Sirsa, Fatehabad, Jind and Bhiwani districts. “The CLGs will have representatives from the SC&ST communities and villages. The groups will work in coordination with the nodal officers,” he said.

Rao said the nodal officer would hold meetings with members of various communities if violence occurred anywhere and would sort out the disputes and differences with the help of the CLGs.

He said action would be taken against those who found guilty of committing crime against members of the weaker sections of society under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.

DSP Jaipal Singh has been appointed nodal officer for Hisar and DSP Prithvi Singh for Bhiwani, DSP Vijay Singh for Fatehabad, DSP Ravinder Kumar for Sirsa and DSP Adarsh Deep for Jind, he said.
