Adopt zero tolerance against crime, Raje tells police

Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje today asked senior police personnel to adopt a policy of "zero tolerance" against crime and criminals to provide fearless atmosphere in the state.
"SPs should adopt the policy of 'zero tolerance' against crime and criminals to provide public fearless atmosphere in the state", Raje said at the Collectors-Superintendent of Police Conference at CMO here today.
Addressing the officials on the second day of the conference, she asked the SPs to take immediate action against those disturbing law and order and be cordial and sensitive towards the public which believe in peace.
Criminals or law & order violators should have "police fear," while public should have faith on police, she said.

SPs should act immediately on every crime, small or big, and try their best so that "personal issue" between two groups of people does not turn into a communal incident, Raje said.
The Chief Minister said that police should be answerable to public representatives (MLAs, MPs, councillors etc) and attend their phone calls.

If any police personnel is found not attending or responding to elected representatives, action would be taken against him/her, she added.
The day long meeting was attended by Home Minister G C Kataria, SPs of 33 districts in the state and senior officials of Police Headquarters.
The CM hailed the decline in crime graph against women, Dalit, SC/ST community, and weaker sections of the society.

She also patted cops for maintaining better law and order conditions during the Gujjar agitation in parts of the state.
Chief Minister opined that a special cell be set up to monitor social sites on internet to check unruly, obscene, hate and inflammatory comments, as at times such comments had created law and order problem.
