Home Minister launches ‘Mane Manege Police' to promote people-friendly policing in Karnataka
Home Minister G. Parameshwara on Friday launched 'Mane Manege Police' (Police to Every Home) initiative, aimed at fostering people-friendly policing and bridging the gap between citizens and the police department.
Dr. Parameshwara described the initiative as the first of its kind in the country and emphasised that it would help build a sense of brotherhood and trust between the public and the police.
'Let's go to people's doorsteps and listen to their problems. When we solve their issues, they will begin to form a positive opinion about the department,' he told police officers during the launch.
As part of the initiative, beat officers at every police station across the State are required to visit homes within their jurisdiction, interact with residents, gather details about their neighbourhoods, and note any law and order concerns they may have.
The officers are expected to record the data collected during these visits, enabling the police to gain a deeper, real-time understanding of their jurisdiction.
Although the Home Minister officially launched the programme on Friday, implementation had already begun at the field level.
Dr. Parameshwara said that the initiative would be periodically reviewed and necessary changes would be made based on its effectiveness.
