By “going blue”, Assam Police reiterated its ongoing commitment towards promoting and protecting the rights of all children.
As first responders, the police have a frontline role in deciding the course of justice for children who are victims of crime and for children who come into conflict with the law.
Through its flagship Sishu Mitra Programme, the Assam Police has been striving towards strengthening its response mechanisms, so as to ensure the protection of child rights across the state.
The Sishu Mitra Programme is a collaborative partnership of the Assam Police with UNICEF and UTSAH Child Rights Org. It is one of the largest child friendly policing programmes in the country.
Harmeet Singh, special DGP of Assam, who is also convenor, Sishu Mitra Programme, said: “We wish all the young ones a very happy children’s day. Under the leadership of our chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, the Sishu Mitra Programme has been able to bring about a remarkable transformation on the ground level.”
“From infrastructure development to timely investigation, the Assam Police has made major strides in the arena of child-friendly policing across the state, in the endeavour to provide justice for every child,” added the special DGP of Assam.
