In a tweet, the CM Office said that initiatives such as gender-based awareness, training, corporate activity, voice messages, interviews, programs in Durga Puja and other cultural pandalos should be organized to create greater awareness under the ‘Mission Shakti’.
A special week-long campaign will be launched every month during the campaign to raise awareness among the masses and sensitize people on the issue, the Office of the Chief Minister (OCM) said in a statement.
“These programs will be organized in the 521 blocks, 59,000 gram panchayats, 630 urban locations and 1,535 police stations in the 75 districts of the state. Nodal women appointed by the government in all districts for the execution and follow-up of the campaign will try to raise awareness on the help lines: 1090, 181, 1076, 108 and 102 “, indicates the statement.
