WPS Itanagar Conducts Awareness Programme on ERSS-112, New Criminal Laws and Child Safety at Niti Vihar School
Itanagar, June 2: The Women Police Station (WPS), Itanagar, conducted an awareness programme at Government Middle School, Niti Vihar, on Monday with the objective of educating students about the Emergency Response Support System (ERSS-112), provisions of the newly introduced criminal laws, and issues related to women and child safety.
During the programme, police officials highlighted the importance of ERSS-112 as a nationwide emergency helpline and informed students about the various legal provisions aimed at ensuring public safety and justice under the new criminal law framework. The session sought to enhance legal awareness among young students and encourage responsible citizenship.
A key focus of the programme was the safety and protection of women and children. The officials sensitised students on the concepts of “Good Touch and Bad Touch,” helping them understand personal boundaries, recognise inappropriate behaviour, and take appropriate action in situations of abuse or harassment. Students were also guided on how to seek help from trusted adults and law enforcement agencies whenever required.
The awareness session was led by Sub-Inspector Nikter Ani and attended by Lady Constable Bomge Gamlin, Lady Constable T. Monju, and Constable Ogo Pertin of WPS Itanagar.
The programme witnessed active participation from students, who engaged in interactive discussions and raised queries related to personal safety and emergency response mechanisms. The police team encouraged students to remain aware of their rights and make use of available support systems whenever necessary.
