Bangalore, August 8: The Karnataka State Commission for Women, which had lashed out at Mangalore police for their failure to prevent the July 28 attack on Morning Mist homestay, has now advised the administration to take measures to safeguard the image of Dakshina Kannada.
KSCW chairperson C Manjula, who has prepared a five-page report after paying a visit to the spot last week, reiterated that it was a brutal incident which has left a scar on the victims.
She also said that the priority should be to help the victims of the attack to recover emotionally and psychologically.
She said that the Commission has suggested the government take long-term measures so that the image of the coastal district is not sullied further. Police have a pivotal role in preventing the recurrence of such incidents.
Ms Manjula has sought action against local police. "Subhash Padil is a habitual offender. Why didn't the police keep a vigil on him?'' she asked.
“Police action should be impartial, while the administration should ensure the rights of citizens are not violated,'' she said.
