Congress panel attributes rise in crimes in Mysuru to frequent police transfers, lack of coordination
A fact-finding committee constituted by the State Congress to study the issue of the recent gang-rape near Chamundi Hills in Mysuru has blamed the State government for its failure to deploy adequate number of police and provide sufficient number of police vehicles to maintain law and order in the city. Frequent transfer of police officials, lack of coordination between the police and other departments and deployment of police force for providing security to VIPs during their visit to Mysuru also contributed to the law and order issues, the committee said in its report submitted to the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC). The committee headed by V.S. Ugrappa, former MP, claimed that the administrative machinery in the district has collapsed owing to lack of coordination between district in-charge Minister S.T. Somashekar, Mysuru MP Pratap Simha and BJP legislators.More Related News
