In a bid to check crime against women in rural areas, Haryana Government will appoint women volunteers in the state.
To being with, women volunteers would be appointed in two districts including Karnal and Mahendragarh. These women volunteers will be given an appointment letter by the government and a special badge to wear.
“Women volunteers would be recruited in every village to curb crimes against the women and help for their upliftment. These women volunteers would work in coordination with the police” said a senior official of Haryana Government.
He said that about 1000 women volunteers each would be appointed in the districts. These volunteers would keep a check on crime against women and also, report it to the police, he added.
The Chief Minister Manohar lal is scheduled to launch the project next week in his constituency Karnal.
