Dikshit: Policing in Delhi is Centre's responsibility
January 14, 2013 18:45
Days after Union minister Jairam Ramesh complained about Delhi's "most dubious" reputation from women's safety point of view, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit today said policing in her state is the responsibility of the Centre.
In her reply to Ramesh, who last week gave suggestions to improve women's security in the national capital region, she also asked the Rural Development Minister to use his good office to persuade the Centre to restore people's confidence in the law and order set-up.
"While appreciating your concern for the safety of women in Delhi, you are aware that policing in Delhi is directly under the administrative control of the central government. You may, therefore, like to take up the matter with the central government for taking urgent steps to restore confidence in law-and-order machinery," she said.
