Guwahati, November 20

Assam DGP Harmeet Singh on Thursday ceremonially illuminated the Assam Police Headquarters in Blue light, in the presence of senior officers and staff of the Assam Police Headquarters.

As part of the global celebration of World Children's Day on November 20, all major infrastructure and buildings of the Assam Police, including the DGP Office, the Guwahati Police Commissionerate, all SSP Offices, and Police Stations across the State, were illuminated in blue.

"This striking visual display formed part of the worldwide 'Go Blue' campaign, symbolising solidarity with children and a commitment to upholding their rights. This initiative is organised under the aegis of the

Assam Police Sishu Mitra Programme, anchored by the Assam Police in partnership with UNICEF and UTSAH, one of the largest Child-friendly Policing Programmes in India," Rajib Saikia, CPRO of Assam police said.

Harmeet Singh, Director General of Police, Assam, highlighted the significance of this initiative within the State's flagship Assam Police Sishu Mitra Programme.

"Every year, from November 14 to November 20, we observe Child Rights Week through a series of activities aimed at reinforcing our dedication to protecting and promoting Children's Rights," he said.

He further said that illuminating all Assam Police buildings in blue on November 20 marks the culmination of this weeklong programme and serves as a public declaration of our commitment.

The "Go Blue" campaign encourages governments, organisations, and communities around the world to light up landmarks and public spaces in blue on World Children's Day.

The colour blue represents a dedication to a world where every child is safe, healthy, educated, and loved.

The campaign aims to raise global awareness about children's rights and to inspire collective action to ensure every child's well-being.

World Children's Day is a globally recognised occasion to advocate for children's rights and wellbeing, reminding societies everywhere of the importance of nurturing and protecting the next generation.

Assam Police's visible commitment underscores their critical role in promoting a safe and supportive environment for children across Assam.

While the gesture is nice, I hope this isn't just symbolic. The real test is how effectively Assam Police handles child protection cases on ground. The Sishu Mitra Programme needs to show concrete results in preventing child abuse and trafficking.

As a mother from Guwahati, I appreciate this visible commitment to children's safety. The blue lighting creates awareness and reminds everyone that protecting our children is a collective responsibility. Hope other government buildings in Assam join this movement too! 👏

Great initiative! But I wish they'd also focus on improving police sensitivity when dealing with children in conflict with law. The Child Rights Week should include training sessions for police personnel on child psychology and rights.

The blue lighting is beautiful and creates so much awareness! 💙 Hope this inspires more parents and communities to take children's rights seriously. Every child deserves safety, education, and love - this campaign reminds us of that fundamental truth.
