Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra on Wednesday announced that the government would disclose the identity of those persons, who bail out drug peddlers, by displaying their names on boards in their localities.
The exercise will begin from Indore, he said.
Talking to reporters in Indore, Mishra said, "During a meeting of police officers with public representatives, it was decided that the names of people who deposit the surety (bail out) for the drug peddlers, will be made public by putting up boards in their localities. The first phase will start from Indore."
In the next phase of this campaign, displaying the names of the associates of the drug peddlers on such boards will be considered, he said.
