Almora: Ms. Meena Arya, the dedicated Police Station Head of the Women’s Police Station in Almora, orchestrated a comprehensive awareness program at Shilangi Primary School, situated in the Upradi Ranikhet revenue area.

During this enlightening session, Ms. Arya engaged with the children, imparting crucial information about what constitutes a “good touch” and a “bad touch.” She stressed the importance of immediate action if they ever experienced inappropriate behavior, encouraging them to confide in their parents, guardians, and teachers. The underlying message was clear: the children should feel empowered to stand up against any wrongdoing and report it to the relevant authorities.

Emphasizing the significance of community safety, she enlightened the students about the dedicated police helpline number, 112. The children were not only made aware of this emergency contact but were also actively encouraged to prompt their parents to utilize it in case of any concerns or complaints.
In essence, the awareness program conducted by Ms. Meena Arya went beyond the basics, fostering a comprehensive understanding of personal safety and empowerment among the young students at Shilangi Primary School.
