Ludhiana: Besides helping rape survivors get justice, zone-IV police of Ludhiana commissionerate will in a first of its kind initiative offer them counselling, free education and job opportunities too.
Additional deputy commissioner of police-IV Rupinder Kaur Sra has come up with this initiative to help rape survivors overcome the trauma and named it ‘Sawera-Ek Nayee Subah, Ek Nayee Shuruat’. She has roped in Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Ludhiana, for the project. Sra heads zone-IV of Ludhiana police, where there is more migrant population and higher instances of rape of minors.
Sra said, “Whenever I meet a rape survivor, be it adult or minor, I feel their pain. I certainly help them get justice, but feel that we need to do more than this. The rape survivors, especially the minor girls, need compassion and support to overcome the trauma. At times, it is seen that they don’t get acceptance in the family and society.”
