Must read

Minister for Home Vangalapudi Anitha on Sunday consoled the parents of the girl-child, who was raped and murdered at ST Colony at Alivelu Mangapuram village in Vadamulapet mandal.
The Home Minister went to the house of the bereaved family and paid tributes to the three-and-half-year-old girl child, who was brutally raped, murdered and buried on the outskirts of the village on the night of Friday.
Later Home Minister Anitha consoled the parents of the deceased girl. She also handed over Rs 10 lakh ex gratia payment to the parents of the deceased girl. She assured the family members of extending all support and constructing a house for them.
She told them that steps would be taken to ensure that the killer of the girl would be punished rigorously in court for two or three months. She also revealed that efforts are being made to set up fast-track courts to complete the trial in sexual assault cases. Home Minister Anitha made it clear that over 14000 CCTV cameras are being set up at all vulnerable places across the state.
“The government has taken stringent steps to curb the cannabis cultivation and transportation and steps were also taken to set up a ‘Narcotic Wing’ in the State especially to contain the ganja menace,” Home Minister Anitha announced.
The Home Minister said that she felt pain with the sexual assault and murder of a three-and-half-year-old girl. Sexual assaults on women are committed by offenders in the inebriation of liquor.
Taking strong exception to the politicising of the heinous crime incident by the Opposition leaders, she lashed out that the police system was crippled during the five years YSRCP regime, she alleged, adding that the same system is being bolstered now.
Similar heinous crime incidents took place during the previous YSRCP regime including in the then CM Jagam Mohan Reddy’s constituency Pulivendula, she pointed out. Illicit liquor was sold indiscriminately in the State during the five years of YSRCP rule, she flayed.
She came down heavily on former Minister RK Roja denying her comments on the incident. She described Roja’s remarks as ridiculous. RK Roja was trying to use the issue for political mileage, and the Home Minister slammed and questioned her why she was quiet when liquor was sold by the government across the State. Those who have sense do not politicize such heinous crime incidents, she stated.  
The Chandrababu Naidu-led NDA government is committed to providing women empowerment and security to women, the Home Minister acknowledged.
