AGARTALA, August 16 (TIWN): Altogether 89 citizens come under the vigilance of one Security Forces, according to the report of the official.

Despite of several initiatives taken by the Security Force and the Government, frequent crimes are occurring every now and then.

With incidents of crimes against women registering a sharp increase in recent years, Tripura has decided to increase the number of women police personnel to one-third of its total strength in the next couple of years.

It is worthy to mention that the Tripura Government has been taking initiatives to increase the police personnel in the state, but the crime rate of the state are yet to curb.

Cases of crimes against women in Tripura are rising. In 2011, 1,503 such cases were registered while the number went up to 1,650 in 2012 and 1,706 in 2013. Beside from April 2013 to March 2014, the number of case relating to the women registered at 848.

When the crimes against women had already taken a top most position in Tripura, the state govt. has taken certain steps to curb it, like recruitment of more women police and setting up more women police station.

But all these seem to have bowed down in front of the increasing rate of crimes against women in Tripura.

Therefore to mention here, organising seminars, workshops and awareness camp and recruiting more women police on curbing the rising crimes against women must not be enough here in the state at present because the way it has taken a giant shape, it is possible to curb the crimes related to women only when the police awake from their sleep and takes necessary steps against the accused.
