Heinous crime & Law & order situation worsens under Jai Ram Govt in HP :Cong
State Congress unit has raised concern over the increasing crimes against women in Himachal under Jai Ram Thakur Government . Congress spokesperson Saurav Chauhan has said in a press statement issued here today that the law and order situation in the state is bad and the graph of crimes against women have increased in Himachal during the five years. He said that the Crime Records Bureau report is alarming as crime against women is increasing which showed that state is being known for dubious reason. It is clear in the report that Himachal ranked 3rd for registering case of rape under POCSO Act, which is a matter of concern. According to the Crime Records Bureau’s report for the year 2021, Devbhoomi has reached the place after Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan in cases of rape of 6 years and below victims. Ten cases of rape of girls of 6 years and below were registered in the state in 2021, while 18 cases of rape of girls in this age group have been registered in Rajasthan and 17 in Andhra Pradesh. Not only this, 21 cases of rape has been reported in the age group of 6 to 12 years whereas, it was 64 cases were registered in Rajasthan and 50 in Andhra Pradesh. Which showed that state made a major leap in the cases of Heinous crime in the country. Similarly, 93 cases of rape of 12 to 16 year old girls were registered and only 93 cases of rape of minors of 16-18 years have been registered. 360 rape cases have been registered in the state in 2021.
Saurav Chauhan alleged that during the time of Jai Ram government, woman are feeling unsafe in Himachal.
