AGARTALA, July 21 (TIWN): Gomati District has always been under the scanner following the lackluster attitude of Its former DM Sonal Goel as she was always negligent towards the development of the district. As DM Gomati always wanted to go out of Tripura so Sonal Goel never took the development of the Gomoti district in serious footings.

Finally she was handed her official transfer order to serve in Harayana Govt.

However, Raval Hamendra Kumar, IAS, national Health Mission is appointed as the new DM for the Gomoti District. Fake passport, child rape, kidnapping, molestation, patient’s death over negligence in treatment, smuggling, Gomati district have seen all negativeness under the rule of former DM Gomati Sonal Goel.  

Gomati District's law and order was drastically shattered during the rule of  Sonal Goel as she was negligent toward the development of the state. 

With daily reports of minor rape, murders, killings, kidnapping, Udaipur Sub division under Gomati district appears to be a hub for rising crime against women and children’s. If one goes by police records, Gomati District has practically become the hunting ground for the rapists .

Unfortunately in most of the cases it has been found that the culprits are either relatives of political leaders (ruling party) or they have been maintaining close relations with influential political leaders .

In the present era on Woman empowerment Gomati District is a perfect example for the empowerment of the women with the three most crucial posts being held up by three women - DM Gomati Sonal Goel, SP Gomati S Saraswati and Zila Sabhadhipati of Gomati District Suniti Saha. All the three women should have played a significant part in encouraging the women especially the girl children to go for a bright career showing their own examples before them. Unfortunately in their domain, crimes related to violence against woman especially rapes increased at a considerable rate.

It is now almost years since Sonal Goel(IAS)  has assumed the charge of DM Gomati and from 8th February 2016 S Saraswati ( IPS)  is at the helm of SP Gomati . Suniti Saha is the Zila Sabhadhipati of Gomati Zila parishad for more than one and year. One would have expected that these three most influential persons would usher in brighter days for the women in the entire district leaving an example to the state .

DM Sonal Goel has promoted " Beti Bachao and Beti Parao " campaign . Even though it looks like DM is doing something good for women but in reality its more of a publicity drive and media campaign via her Facebook Fan Club. Sonal Goel’s goal is bagging more awards to advance her IAS career rather than reducing rampant rapes, violence on women in Gomati District.

But the irony of the fate is that girls of the district ( minors and adults ) , housewives are being raped almost every day . In the last two years number of rape incidents increased by leaps and bounds . Rampant spike in rape cases across Gomati District puts a big question mark on efficiency of DM Sonal Goel led Gomati District Administration. Indeed, Gomati District , is now hunting ground for criminals
