Chandigarh,(UT) 24 July: With a purpose to provide proactive support to the
rape victims in their rehabilitation, City Commissioner of Police Rakesh
Aggarwal on Friday launched Project Sawera: Ek Nayi Subah, Ek Nayi Shuruwat
here during an interactive session of Ludhiana Police with Confederation of
Indian Industry (CII).
Disclosing this here, ADCP Ludhiana
Rupinder Kaur Sra, who is the brain behind the dedicated project, said the
endeavour is to facilitate the building of their bright future and making their
dreams come true with their hard work besides giving the affected families an
opportunity for their respectful acceptance in society.
Speaking on the occasion, the CP
Rakesh Aggarwal stated that as a society, it is our moral obligation to help
these victims and not just as a course of duty. We intend to empower the
victims by providing them employment and CII is already committed to help, he
further disclosed.
Sharing the inspiration behind the
project, Sra said, “there are so many such cases, and I have always wondered
what can be done to help them make their lives better. Providing them with
employment would be a huge step in this direction, she added while appealing to
other such organisations to come forward to provide financial aid/education to
victims and children of victims.
Underlining the need to provide
counselling to these victims and provide them with emotional support, Sra
pointed out that efforts are being made to rope in social organisations towards
this end.
