Coimbatore's 'Police Akka' scheme likely to be adopted across state

A two-year-old initiative of the Coimbatore police is likely to be replicated by all districts and city police commissionerates across the state to make college campuses safer and ensure that sexual harassment complaints don't go unheard.

The 'Police Akka' (sister) scheme, where an experienced police woman is deputed to every college having female students to build a sense of trust and solve their harassment-related issues, was suggested as a model to be emulated at a special meeting convened by Chief Secretary N Muruganandam with representatives of all colleges across the state, officials said.
