High rise of domestic violence during lockdown

-





 

The Kerala police have received more than 2,800 complaints of domestic violence across the state during the COVID-19 induced lockdown.

Of the total plaints received during the period, a total of 2,757 have been settled, an official statement said here.

Since the lockdown began, police have received 2,868 complaints of domestic violence from various districts of the state till October 31. Of these, 2,757 have been settled under the aegis of the district police chiefs.

State police chief DGP Loknath Behera directed to settle the rest of the 111 complaints under the aegis of the Inspector General (IG) in charge of the police headquarters here and the Women's Cell superintendent of police (SP).

The DGP, who recently took part in an online adalat to resolve complaints related to domestic violence, at the behest of the newly-set up Conflict Resolution Centre at the district level, listened to the grievances of many people and suggested solutions, it said.

Behera said it was a time-consuming process to register a case and file a charge-sheet in the court on complaints received in connection with the domestic violence.

The new system, which seeks to find a solution through means like direct counselling by meeting plaintiff and opposite parties, was convenient not only for police but also for the complainants involved, he said.

A solution would be evolved when complainants and opposite parties open up their mind and talk to each other and police can play a crucial role in this, the DGP said.

“The diligence and dedication shown by the police in resolving complaints is an important factor behind the success of this scheme.

So, district police chiefs should give special attention in considering the complaints of domestic violence and resolve it,” the top official added.

As many as 20 women, from various parts of the state, took part in the online adalat and lodged complaints with the state police chief, who directed the district police chiefs to ensure follow-up action

  There is not one person in this world who doesn't know the magnanimous biking industry ie, Royal Enfield. There is nothing that is not regal about it. Everything about it is legendary.   1901 marked the entry of the first RE motorcycle into the market. Before becoming the famous bike that it is, Royal Enfield was a brand that sold mainly motorcycles, bicycles, lawnmowers, and stationary engines which they manufactured all by themselves. Like I said before, Enfield started selling bikes in 1901 and cars in 1902. Royal Enfield motorcycles had been sold in India since 1949. In 1955, the Redditch company joined Madras Motors in India to form "Enfield India". We all know that the Indian government used these vehicles for police and army purposes ie, for patrolling the country's border. Royal Enfield is also distinctive in its logo with a cannon and a tagline of "Made like a gun". This logo shows the heritage of the Enfield Company.  While looking at the journey

A tale of Muslim Minorities

 A recent Research Center report documented the highest level of government restrictions on the free practice of religion worldwide in more than a decade. The Middle East and North Africa, continues to have the highest prevalence of government restrictions, while Asia showed a sharp increase in the use of force against religious groups, including property damage, detention, displacement, other forms of abuse, and killings. While Christians were targeted in 145 countries worldwide in 2018, according to the study, Muslims came in close behind, facing harassment in 139 countries. But while Christians face serious repression in much of the world, government actions against Muslims were greater in scope and scale, impacting hundreds of millions of people.  It is clear that no other community faces as high a level of government repression as Muslims—not just in certain countries where they are a minority, such as China and India, but also in places where Islam is the state religion and its

Corporate organizational behavior

Individuals bring a number of differences to work. They have a variety of personalities, values, and attitudes. When they enter into organizations, their stable or transient characteristics affect how they behave and perform. Moreover, companies hire people with the expectation that they have certain knowledge, skills, abilities, personalities, and values. Building and cultivating relationships is an integral part of any career strategy. Whether you are a job seeker, manager or entrepreneur, you are in the relationship business. When it comes to building relationships you must start with self knowledge, and that starts with personality. The study of personality is fundamentally about asking: Who am I? I know it sounds cliché, but before you can effectively reach outward to others, you have to be able to look inward. The study of personality provides some great insights into how to do this.   Personality can be tough to define; from the four temperaments of Hippocrates (choleric, melanc
