 Expressing  shock  to a  report  that  appeared in media on Friday where the parents of a 16-year-old Anusha were  killed  by  a milk vendor on Thursday, Sabita Indra Reddy, the home minister said  that the Government would   promulgate  an ordinance  to provide  harsh punishment to perpetrators of violence.  Anusha  who is studying intermediate  is  still recovering in the hospital. The minister instructed  the  officials concerned to  prepare the Ordinance  which will provide severe punishment to the  culprits  who play  with the lives of innocent people.

Referring  to  the conduct  and  behaviour of  the  students in  educational institutions, she  called on the parents to instruct their  children not to be involved in  social evils like  the  ragging and  eve-teasing. The home  minister regretted  that the Government  was not in a position to introduce  the bill bringing  curbs on  attacking of women, and eve-teasing because of lack of time during the last  assembly sessions.

The  Government   will take  care of Anusha’s education, Sabita  said and added the  East Godavari District Collector had already been instructed  to sanction a house for the girl under the INDIRAMMA programme.
