The Gurugram Police has established the Labour Liaison and Industrial Coordination Team (LLICT) to strengthen law and order in industrial zones, according to an official announcement. Commissioner of Police Sibash Kabiraj issued orders for the formation of these teams to enhance coordination among industry management, labour unions, and local administration.
Structure and Composition of LLICT
Under the new system, one or two LLICT teams will be constituted in each police station area, depending on the number of industrial units and operational requirements. Each team will comprise four to five police personnel with strong public-dealing skills and the ability to coordinate effectively with industry management, labour unions, and the Labour Department.
Duties and Responsibilities
The LLICT teams will maintain regular liaison with the Labour Department, industrial establishments, labour unions, security officers, and Human Resources officials. They will conduct regular visits to sensitive industrial areas, promptly report any labour disputes, protests, demonstrations, or law-and-order issues to senior officers, and pay special attention to matters relating to the safety of women employees. The teams will also maintain constant surveillance over anti-social and external elements.
Training and Reporting Mechanisms
A senior police officer stated that duty charts for all LLICT teams will be prepared by the respective Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), specifying patrolling areas, liaison officers, and reporting mechanisms. The concerned Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) will regularly review the teams' functioning. To enhance operational efficiency, a one-day training programme will be conducted every month in the conference room at the old CP Office in Gurugram. Expert officers will provide training in industrial dispute handling, labour laws, crowd control, law-and-order management, negotiation and communication skills, women’s safety, emergency response, crisis management, and intelligence gathering.
“Under the new system, every LLICT team will submit a daily activity report to the concerned SHO and ACP. The ACP will forward a weekly review report to the respective DCP, while the DCP Headquarters and the Joint Commissioner of Police will conduct regular monthly reviews of the overall functioning of the teams and issue necessary directions to ensure effective policing and a prompt response in industrial areas,” the officer added.
Expected Impact
“This initiative by the Gurugram Police will further strengthen trust, coordination, and cooperation among industries, labour unions, and the police. It will facilitate the timely resolution of industrial disputes, enhance the safety of women employees, help maintain law and order in sensitive industrial areas, and ensure a swift police response during emergencies. Gurugram Police remains committed to providing a safe, peaceful, and investment-friendly environment in line with the city’s industrial growth, while ensuring effective protection of the interests of both industries and workers,” said Sibash Kabiraj, Commissioner of Police, Gurugram.
