With the aim to provide speedy justice to residents, the Malerkotla district police have launched ‘Rahat camp’ scheme, under which periodic camps will be organised at police station-level for the redressal of long-pending complaints of the residents.

Of the 218 pending cases, 109 were settled with mutual consent of warring parties with the arbitrations undertaken at the police stations concerned.

Malerkotla SSP Kanwardeep Kaur said the scheme had been launched keeping in view the problems being faced by residents in getting their disputes settled through a relatively cumbersome legal process.

“Having received information about a large number of long-pending cases, which could be resolved through arbitration by our officers, we launched a unique concept under the banner ‘Rahat camp’, which will be organised periodically,” she said.
