The State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (SCPCR) has directed Dehradun Smart City Limited (DSCL) to set up child-friendly police station units in the police stations that fall within the radius of eight kilometres of Clock Tower.
According to SCPCR chairperson, Usha Negi, the DSCL aims to make the smart city a child-friendly city too and child-friendly police stations must be an important part of it. Though Uttarakhand’s first child-friendly police station unit was recently inaugurated in Dalanwala police station, such establishments in other police stations will also benefit children and police, stated Negi. Moreover, the officials also informed that the child commission has also issued Rs 13 lakh for the establishment of child-friendly police station units in all the districts of the State.
