Puducherry Lt Governor Kiran Bedi on Saturday came out with a new strategy--'6P concept'-- to protect women and children against crimes.

The concept of 6P would bring together six important contributors or pillars - 'parents or principals, police, prosecution or courts, politicians, prisons and press'- as a collective hub to prevent crimes against the two vulnerable sections, Bedi, a former IPS officer, said.

Bedi was speaking after releasing a directory covering details of various non-governmental organisations functioning in Puducherry at a joint meeting of representatives of NGOs at Raj Nivas.

A Raj Nivas release said these 'six pillars' would be steered by the Lt Governor, the Chief Minister or Welfare Minister and Chief Secretary or Welfare Secretary.

Welfare Minister M Kandasamy, who was present, lauded the initiatives of the Lt Governor.

He said the council of ministers -"is on the same page as the Lt Governor and will render their utmost cooperation.-"
