The Hindu, 7th Dec. Six-day programme held for registered bad characters Going beyond traditional methods of reining in crime in a first-of-its-kind endeavour, the Outer Delhi Police organised a six-day “Art of Living” programme for registered bad characters of several police stations of the district. Though the number of participants in the programme, which was held at Pitampura Police Lines from December 1 to 6, declined gradually from 63 on the first day to 30 on the concluding day, those who stayed till the end felt it was a life changing experience. NOT COMPULSARY “Initially we brought four to five bad characters from each police station and persuaded them to experience it for a day. At the end of the session on the first day, I addressed them and told them there was no compulsion on their part to continue with the programme. The next day the number reduced to 49, but it stabilised at 30. When I interacted with the 30 on the last day, some of them felt that they would not have entered the world of crime had there been such guidance for them earlier and insisted on its continuation.
