Bihar CM Nitish Kumar today insugurated the first All Women Police Station of Bihar at Biharsharif.
This police station will deal with complaints from women on atrocities, family disputes and related matters.
Women molestation and torture are very common in the societies of Bihar and this initiative would help them in getting their complaints redressed successfully.
Govt plans to construct 39 more such police stations in future.
The women police will also arrange for counselling for couples facing marital discords and costs incurred for it will be borne by the complainants, Kumar said.
Sub-inspector Anju Kumari has been made the station house officer of the first all-woman police station and all cases related to atrocities and other crimes concerning women lodged at various police stations in the district would be transferred to it for investigation, district superintendent of police Jitendra Rana said.
