Exercise restrains

The report of an IAS officer being ill treated by security forces in Itanagar during security checking is not a good sign. As per the media report police personnel is reported to have misbehaved with the officer even after he gave his identity. The incident raises serious question mark. If an IAS officer is treated this way, imagine what plight the ordinary people must be going through. Ever since the president rule was imposed in the state many had feared of excesses from security forces, in particularly from the paramilitary.
It’s been just a week since PR has been imposed and already complaint against security forces are pouring in from various parts of capital complex. It is alleged that besides behaving very rudely, the security forces are using foul and abusive languages. In a sensitive state like Arunachal, security forces should be very careful about how they behave with the locals. Especially while dealing with women they need to be extra careful. Unlike other North Eastern states like Manipur or Nagaland, Arunachal never witnessed any kind of armed conflict. People of this state are not used to presence of so many security forces in the civilian area. Therefore even slight misunderstanding might provoke and led to eruption of anger. Keeping this in mind administration should exercise maximum restrain and also pass on necessary instruction to the security forces not to harass the innocent citizens.
