LUCKNOW: When three school scholars, in their 20s, studying at Banaras Hindu University (BHU) and an IITian in Kanpur were slapped and dragged out of parks through the much-famed anti-Romeo squads (ARS) of UP police in March this year whilst they were spending quiet time with their feminine buddies in parks, endless brickbats for the Yogi govt followed.
Since then, the squads have had a peaceful time negotiating with and figuring out stalkers from fans.
It's not for the reason that incidents have shrunken. Instead, a Rs 20,000-a-day course in anger management, transaction research and emotional intelligence with management gurus of IIM-Lucknow and leading psychotherapists of the state has helped the ARS team's male and female constables. While the B-school schools gave lessons in gender sensitisation, frame language and micro expressions, psyhotherapists relied on alternative approaches to "lower blood pressure" at the side of meditation techniques.
"Self-leadership communication techniques had to be deployed to deal with the cops here. Focus was on communicating with the patriarchal world, where we question the women more than we do the perpetrator. So we would tell the police personnel to take assertive leadership but not without being empathetic in the situation," stated human resource management professor Himanshu Rai at IIM-L, who led the course coaching.
The IIM college additionally conceived a no-no for the UP police officers: asking men for sit-ups, ear-pulls, face blackening or head shaves. A well-liked clinical analysis, mindfulness-based pressure aid (MBSR) was once heavily lectured on with the male police officers, who expressed issue in resisting physical drive with stalkers.
"There are times when we are ourselves scared of talking to cops. That's the fear of being judgmental. We either ignore or suppress our issues. So I used the MBSR technique that heightens sensitivity to the environment and one's own reactions to it, consequently enhancing self-management and coping," stated Dr Neha Anand, psychotherapist, who was once a part of the three-month coaching.
'Taught police officers learn how to handle egos'
In transactional research, I taught the police officers on dealing with egos of people at the side of non-verbal cues which incorporates eye having access to cues, gestures and facial expressions as these circumstances handle the physical appearances of a stalker or a lover," added Anand.
The feminine police officers, among them, got lessons on regulating emotion and "moment-to-moment, non-judgmental awareness".
"Depressive signs are not unusual among the feminine police body of workers as they have a tendency to get extra fearful and wired whilst dealing with such circumstances. So, for them we focussed on meditation, yoga and non secular trainings at the side of," stated a cop concerned within the coaching module. 810 constables across 75 districts of UP have been educated through the program, that is a part of UP Police's women helpline 1090.
