Cops organise awareness event for girls

Singarayakonda: The Singarayakonda police conducted an awareness programme for the girls on ‘Good Touch and Bad Touch’ at the local Government High School on Friday.

The Singarayakonda CI, P Devaprabhakar, SI Nagamalleswara Rao with their staff visited the school and interacted with the girls. They explained the differences between the good touch and bad touch with the help of a short film, Komal, shot by the Childline India.

In the film, Komal is like any other active, sensitive and happy girl living with her parents. Her father’s friend becomes their new neighbour, with whom she build-ups a happy bond and spend time with him. But one day, the perverted man shows his real character and Komal feels guilty and caught with depression. The school teacher and her mother seeks help of the Childline representative, who offers counselling and assures her that the girl did no wrong but the neighbour did. With the help of her, the police arrest the pervert neighbour and send him to jail.

Devaprabhakar said that they explained the girls need not fear to anyone if they come across incidents of bad touch and asked them to inform to the parents or call 1098 or complain to the police. He assured the girls that severe action would be taken on the perverts who misbehaved with them or their friends immediately.
