Gurugram Police Establish LLICT for Industrial Harmony
The Gurugram police have constituted the Labour Liaison and Industrial Coordination Team (LLICT) to strengthen law and order in industrial areas, as announced by Commissioner of Police Sibash Kabiraj. The initiative aims to improve policing, coordination, and response within every concerned police station jurisdiction across Gurugram.
Composition and Deployment of Teams
Under the order issued by Commissioner Kabiraj, each police station area will have one or two LLICTs, depending on the number of industrial units and operational requirements. Each team comprises 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 LLICTs will maintain regular liaison with the Labour Department, industrial establishments, labour unions, security officers, and HR officials. Their duties include conducting regular visits to sensitive industrial areas, promptly reporting labour disputes, protests, demonstrations, and law and order issues to senior officers, and paying special attention to the safety of women employees. The teams will also maintain constant surveillance on the activities of anti-social and outside elements.
Review and Reporting Mechanism
According to a senior police officer, duty charts for all LLICTs 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.
Training and Operational Efficiency
To improve operational efficiency, a one-day training programme will be held every month at the Conference Room of 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 collection.
Daily and Weekly Reporting
“Under the new system, every LLICT 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 and issue necessary directions to ensure effective policing and a prompt response in industrial areas,” the officer added.
Commissioner’s Statement
“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. The police remain 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 Commissioner Kabiraj.
