After Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh to have anti-Romeo squads

April 01, 2017 08:52

After Uttar Pradesh, now the Bharatiya Janata Party-ruled Madhya Pradesh is all set to launch a campaign to check 'majnoo-type' behaviour from men in the state.

"We will reform 'majnoo' type of persons. They don't know how to respect... They are not good for the civilised society... A campaign will be launched against Majnoos," Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said.

To ensure that women and girls are safe, police should keep a vigil and create a safe environment for them, he went on to add.

Chouhan said that women are no less than anyone in terms of courage, valour and in their duties and therefore one-third posts in police department are reserved for them.

"Police should create such an atmosphere so that women are able to move around independently without any fear. It should take stern measures against criminal elements," Chouhan commented.
