The Standing Committee of Parliament has expressed serious concern over the increasing cases of missing people in Delhi. Now a parliamentary committee associated with the Home Ministry has brought its report in this matter and made some recommendations. The report said that in a big city like Delhi, missing cases are not only a law and order issue but also an important social and security issue. In particular, there is a need to pay special attention to issues related to women, children and weaker sections.
The committee, headed by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Radha Mohan Das Agarwal, stressed that to understand these cases, not just police action, but in-depth research and data-based studies are necessary. The Committee believes that unless the social, economic and behavioral reasons behind disappearances are understood, these cases cannot be effectively prevented.

We will understand the reasons behind the disappearance through research.
The committee, in its 257th report, has recommended that Delhi Police conduct a comprehensive study in collaboration with reputed universities and research institutes. In this study, an attempt will be made to know under what circumstances people go missing and what are the reasons behind it.
Along with this, the committee has suggested that the data of Delhi should also be compared with other metros of the country and some international cities. This will help in understanding which policies and methods are working well and which areas need improvement.

Emphasis on increasing the number of women policemen
The report also recommends increasing the participation of women in the police force. The committee has said that participation of at least 33 percent women personnel in the total police force should be ensured. For this, it has been asked to make a phased plan with a fixed deadline.
The committee believes that by increasing the number of women policemen, policing will become more sensitive and better response will be given in cases related to women and weaker sections. This will also strengthen public confidence.

The report also revealed that many people hesitate in going to the police station. The reason for this is lack of transparency, difficulty in access and discomfort in communicating with the police. The committee said it is important to address these problems as they impact crime reporting.
To improve this direction, the committee has suggested creating ‘one stop citizen service desk’ in police stations, deployment of community officers and setting up separate help centers for women, children and senior citizens. The committee believes that these steps will reduce the distance between the police and the general public and law and order will be further strengthened.
