PARSA, SEP 23 -
In the wake of increasing threats from various underground outfits in Tarai districts, a new security measure has been adopted in five districts of the Narayani zone.
A total of 57 Personal Security Officers (PSOs) have been kept in a ready-to-be deployed position in Bara, Parsa, Rautahut, Makawanpur and Chitwan districts to provide security to the needy people. Lawmakers, judges, local development officers, representative of various political parties, businessmen and ministers, among others, are entitled to PSOs.
Birgunj-based Zonal Police Office chief Gopal Bhandari said the PSOs will swing into action once security committees of the respective districts find the need of security. The people in need of security should furnish evidence of threats, certifying that their life is at risk, to the respective committees if they want PSOs.
However, one can avail of the service without following the due process in an emergency. Initially, PSOs will be deployed for a month and their mandate can be renewed if necessary.
Birgunj advisor of Hindu Youth Association Jyoti Prasad Kalwar has been enjoying PSO service following the murder of Association’s central chairman Kashi Tiwari in June.
A businessman, who is under PSO cover, said, “I need security as my family is getting death threats.”
