WPSI. M. Arengh, Women’s Police Cell, Mawkyrwat spoke on the topic “Role of Police in combating crime against women and Children”. She said that several crimes against women and children goes unreported and because of that the government and Supreme Court recognized that they need special protection. She added that crimes like kidnapping, dowry, domestic violence, molestation, rape etc are prevalent because of illiteracy, stigmatization in society, fear and lack protection. Therefore, she urged participants that any crimes against women should be reported to the women police station or any police station and register case under section 154 of CrPC, 122 of POSCO Act or IPC in order to curb the atrocities against women and children while adding that society, NGOs, government officials should give sympathetic attitude towards them and make sincere efforts to help them. She informed that Police department will give them medical treatment, will register FIRs, will provide safety and security, will assist women and children through their VDP volunteers so that women, boy and girl child and oppressed sections in society will feel safe. She briefed the gatherings about POSCO Act, Juvenile Justice Act, sections under Indian Penal Code (IPC), Sexual Harassment Act at work place and Domestic Violence Act to protect women and children. She concluded by urging participants to collaborate with the Police department by informing them about any societal evils against women and children.

Speaking on the topic “Laws and the legal aid services applicable to women and children”, Smti. N Hashah, Panel Lawyer, District Legal Service Authority (DLSA), Mawkyrwat said that according to Article 15 clause 3 of the Indian Constitution, special provisions to protect women and children were given because of the gender inequalities that existed in society and the prevalence of crimes against children and women. She informed that DLSA provide free legal aid services to women, children and people who are not able to get legal aid besides helping with several schemes for women, children and victim compensation schemes because of sexual assault, harassment by initiating claims after proper assessments. She added that the need for free legal aid services is to help people to fight for justice as per their rights for both civil and criminal cases.

The District Social Welfare Officer, Smti. N.

Smti. C. Kharkongor, IAS, Deputy Commissioner, South West Khasi Hills District, Meghalaya recollected the nostalgic moment when (L) Indira Gandhi, India’s first woman Prime Minister set foot at Polo Ground in Shillong on January 21, 1972 and officially announced the birth of Meghalaya as a state carved out of Assam.She said that the formation of Meghalaya have brought a holistic development to the state where roads have improved, educational institutions have increased, hospitals have been built in every district, job opportunities have increased, tourism sector have become so popular besides other developments. She added that government schemes are properly implemented for the welfare of people many have benefitted  at the  grass roots level where every scheme reached the beneficiaries so that they can live a better life, and become useful citizen of society. She also mentioned that celebration of Meghalaya day should not end only in celebration but should rejuvenate the spirit of hard work, selfless sacrifice to build our state for the future generation. She recalled that that it was not easy for the freedom fighters in fighting against the attainment of statehood.She  therefore reminded officials and others to rededicate and resolve to work hard towards growth and development  so that our  state grow up to become mature enough  through our sincere efforts and dedication.

 

Smti. J.U Kharpuri, MCS, ADC gave a brief detail on the  History of evolvement of Meghalaya as a StateShe said that we are no stanger to this celebrating this day because this day reminds ourselves that we are part and parcel of the state. She noted that Meghalaya known as “Abode of the Clouds” which whose name was coined by the geographer Shri. S.P Chaterjee, was formed by carving out two districts from the state of Assam: the United Khasi Hills and Jaintia Hills, and the Garo Hills on 21 January 1972. She stated that even before India’s Independence, Meghalaya was a semi-independent rule state under the British era because of the existing of the traditional system of ruling through the Kings. She also mentioned that when Bengal was partitioned on 16 October 1905 by Lord Curzon, Meghalaya became a part of the new province of Eastern Bengal and Assam. However, when the partition was reversed in 1912, Meghalaya became a part of the province of Assam but on 3 January 1921 in pursuance of Section 52A of the Government of India Act of 1919, the governor-general-in-council declared Meghalaya, other than the Khasi states, as “backward tracts”. It was on 1969 that an Autonomous status was given to Meghalya with 37 members in the Legislature and later conferred its full statehood on on January 21^st, 1972 with a full-fledged legislature of its own. As we celebrate the 49^th year of statehood she recalled the contributions made by Hill State Movement leaders like (L) Shri Williamson A Sangma, (L) Shri Hopingstone Lyngdoh, Shri. B.B. Lyngdoh etc and the contributions of freedom fighters like U Tirot Sing, Pa Togan Sangma, Kiang Nongbah and others. She also said that Meghalaya is now the tourism hotspots of the country and the achievement of the district is because of the hard word and dedication of the officers in the district and their collaboration with the people. Therefore, she urged officials and people to work harder so that our land grow and developed in a more better way. She concluded saying that “Let us learn from simple people and let us make a difference for our state and country as a whole”. 

 

The programme was chaired by Shri. L.K Diengdoh, MCS, EAC while Shri. W.B. Biam, MCS, ADC delivered the welcome speech and Shri H.K Thabah, MCS, ADC delivered the
