Moodubelle, 26 July 2010: The police-peaople contact for better crime control was organized in the premises of the Belle Grama Panchayat Office, Moodubelle on Sunday, 25 July 2010 at 4 pm. The SI of Shirva Police Station, Mr. Kamlakar R. Naik addressing the people said that the crime in the villages can be controlled if people whole heartedly cooperate with the police. He was speaking especially to 50 volunteers, 25 each of Belle and Kattingeri villages who were constituted as ‘beat groups’ to keep a watch on suspicious persons and doubtful vehicles moving around these villages.
Every month five police personnel from Shirva Police Station will be visiting the villages. The volunteers of the beat groups will be required to meet these police personnel and bring to their notice any possible problem that might arise regarding law order situation in the villages. A number of people inquired with the SI about the progress in the investigation regarding robberies in Kattingeri, Devaragudde and Padubelle temples. To these inquires Mr. Kamlakar R. Naik said that the police are still on look out for the robbers and so far no breakthrough could be achieved. He requested the people to bring to the notice of the police if they have any information which would lead to the solving of these temple robberies.
Mr. Devdas Hebbar made a request to the SI to have the vehicles checked during the night time and also to keep a strict watch on trouble makers and chain-snatchers during the public celebration of festivals. The Police-People contact programme was presided over Mrs. Sujata Suvarna, Vice Presdient of the Belle Grama Panchayat. The other guests were Mr. Devdas Hebbar and Mr. Gilbert D’Souza. The programme was conducted by Mr. Mahabala Shettigar.

May I suggest a track-II initiative that should have an impact on curbing robberies? The temples, mosques and churches should reform. They must spend bulk of their collections from devotees for empowerment of local poor. Least possible must be spent on jewels and gold for the temple deities, or towards ecumenical contributions to church hierarchies etc. As the wealth, its visibility and at times grotesque display has increased, the pain of today s poor gets acuter, than in the sixties when majority of us were poor. So, the wealthy must reform themselves and be more charitable. My viewpoint will be appreciated better if one looks at crime rates in Kenya, South Africa, and even Brazil. | |

The citizen of Belle Kattingere villages are lucky to have a police officer at Shirva Police Station. He is very nice human and man of good understanding. In a rural areas like Belle Kattingere, his experiment will give good results because the people are made to involved. Such brilliant officers must be encouraged and supported. I wish all success in the endeavour proposed by Mr Naik, the S.I. of shirva Police Station and look forward to see trouble free days ahead. | |

This is a good example of how the community should be. I wish every village and city becomes like Moodubelle. | |

If people and police work together the anti social elements can be curbed. Together with the monthly visit by police team, also if they can establish a telephone contact between the representatives of the volunteers and police team. This move by the S.I. of Shirva Police Station and the Leaders of Moodubelle will surely have the impact on crimes. | |

Good initiative by Belle panchayat team. Police should work to gain the public trust and to remove the fear from their minds. These initiatives will go a long way in achieving peace and communal harmony in the society. |
