Assam: Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council to raise it’s own police force
First Published: 12th November, 2023 18:58 IST
The Council will deploy these personnel in its boundary areas to check infiltration and ensure the security of areas rich in mines and minerals.
In a big move to control encroachers along the border areas, the Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council or KAAC has decided to raise its own police force. KAAC CEM Tuliram Ronghang tabled a Bill in this regard in the ongoing session of the Council.
The State Government will impart arms and other training, besides providing arms to the KAAC police force.
KAAC CEM Tuliram Ranghang said, “Our area is big. We have border issues here, land encroachers, plus problems regarding tax and revenue collection, there is illegal mining of mines and minerals here, so to resolve all these problems, we have decided to raise Town and Village Police under the KAAC. I placed a Bill today. In the 247th session we will pass the Bill. After receiving the Governor’s nod we will impart training and other needful to be done. WE discussed verbally with the Assam government, and it has informed that the training would be given from their side. The Assam Government has verbally assured us regarding procurement of arms and ammunition as well as raising the Town and Village Police force under the KAAC.”
The KAAC will be the appointing authority. The Council will deploy these personnel in its boundary areas to check infiltration and ensure the security of areas rich in mines and minerals.
In the first batch, the Council will recruit over 200 candidates in the ranks of inspectors, sub-inspectors, and constables.
When Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council got Sixth Schedule status in 1952, Paragraph 3 of the Constitution of India entitled the autonomous council to raise its own police force for its towns and villages. However, over the years, neither of those at the helm of affairs executed it.
According to KAAC sources, they are hopeful of getting full support from Dispur in this regard.
