A Parliamentary panel has suggested overhauling of the administration particularly the police force in tribal dominated areas and make them responsive, alert and sensitive to the crimes against tribal women. <br/><br/>The Committee recommended to operationalize a special cell under the Station House Officer in each police station, particularly in tribal-dominated areas, to take on-time cognizance and remain accountable for any lapses in taking note of such offences. <br/><br/>The panel on Empowerment of Women, headed by Bijoya Chakravarthy today tabled its report in Parliament on empowerment of Tribal Women. The panel said, the existing laws to safeguard tribal women against atrocities have not been responsive enough to protect them such crimes. <br/><br/>The Committee said hoodwinked by non-tribal people, crimes of grievous nature, such as, murder, rape, molestation and grave hurt against tribal women are not rare despite the existence of stringent laws.<br/><br/> The Committee is also perturbed by the inaction of police and administration to such injustices, unwarranted delay in reporting of those cases, failure to register cognizable offices, time-lag in visits to the scene of crimes and also by the delays in charge-sheeting the accused persons.
