NEW DELHI, March 24 (Xinhua) -- Local government in northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh Friday said the police "anti- Romeo" squads would bring sense of
security among women.
"Anti-Romeo squads of policemen to protect women and check eve-teasing will bring a sense of security among women of the state," Keshav Prashad Maurya,
Deputy Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh said.
"Eve-teasing" is a local term that refers to sexual harassment.
The police squads named as "anti-Romeo" were set up across the state to check eve-teasing and harassment of women. The squads have come up on the orders of
new Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, fulfilling a pre-poll promise of his
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The special squads, comprising of policemen including women officers, keep a vigil outside schools, colleges, coaching centers, market places, parks and
other crowded areas to check whether women were being harassed.
However, the police campaign is seen by some as an effort to spawn moral policing and harass couples.
"No innocent person will be harassed or punished by such squads," Maurya said, adding that "providing safety and security to the women in the state
remains a priority for the Uttar Pradesh government."
Several young men have been detained by the squads allegedly for indulging in eve-teasing in Pilbhit and capital city Lucknow.
Local media reports said more than 1,000 men, mostly youngsters were detained by the police across the state in anti-Romeo operations.
Reports said while some youth were seen taken to police stations, others were made to do sit-ups in market places and at busy intersections holding their ears
promising not to indulge in eve-teasing in the future. Reports also said couples
were questioned in the name of the new drive.
The squads have undertaken intensive checking drives in Lucknow, Bulandshahr, Meerut, Mirzapur and Rae Bareli.
Uttar Pradesh Police Chief Javeed Ahmad said the sole objective of the campaign was to ensure safety of women rather than moral policing.
"Safety of girls is the sole intent of the anti Romeo squads. No moral policing," Ahmad wrote on twitter.
Fixing a bulging or herniated disc means different things to different people. Usually it either means a) help me stop my back pain, or b) help me fix
the herniated disc. The end result may be the same but the perspective is
critical. If you simply want to mask the back pain you could take one of the
many non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, get repeated cortisone shots, or beg
your doctor for another pharmaceutical drug alternative. While you might reach
the perceived goal of ending back pain, you of course have not addressed the
real problem. On the other hand, if you choose to fix a herniated disc by
actually treating the underlying cause as well as the symptoms you'll have a
greater likelihood of both ending the pain and preventing its recurrence. That's
where this article will focus. First, understand that outside of cases of trauma
a herniated disc does not occur overnight. It may seem like you ??hrew your back
out??all at once, yet it was a process of weakening over time that allowed your
disc to suddenly become noticeably problematic. What you may find surprising is
many have a herniated disc without pain. It's when the disc or inner material
from a herniated disc press against a nerve that pain results. What causes a
herniated disc Simply put, herniated discs are primarily caused by uneven
pressure. Think of driving a car that's out of alignment. The tires wear
unevenly due to more pressure being present on one edge. Keep driving without
fixing the problem and sooner or later you'll experience a blowout on the worn
side. The effect on spinal discs is similar. Uneven pressure caused by muscle
imbalances cause the less-pressured side of the disc to bulge or rupture,
squirting the jellylike interior through the fibrous disc membrane into the
spinal column. Picture stomping one end of a jelly donut ??the jelly would be
pushed out the other side. There are of course other contributing factors like
hydration, nutritional imbalances and excess stress and negative beliefs to name
a few. How to fix a herniated disc Clearly the first step to fixing a herniated
disc is to remove this uneven pressure. One highly effective method of removing
spinal pressure you can do right at home is called spinal decompression. By
using an exercise ball or other device, negative pressure is used to pull the
vertebrae towards the head instead of towards the feet. One of the most
effective tools for achieving this effect is with an inversion table, which uses
gravity to gently relieve disc pressure. This negative pressure has been known
to allow a herniated disc to return to its normal position by itself. Once you
have relieved the initial pressure you will still need to address the underlying
root cause of compression: muscle imbalances. Using a muscle balance therapy
self assessment or consulting with a provider versed in this course of treatment
you will identify specific muscle imbalances leading to uneven spinal pressure.
Then you will use exercises targeted to strengthen weak muscles and stretches
for overused and tight muscles to reverse these imbalances. By relieving the
pressure on the herniated disc and correcting the underlying muscle imbalances
you will have either fixed the herniated disc or gone a long way towards
improving the condition. And don't forget, you can't ignore the other causes
mentioned earlier. In order to get true lasting relief you have to find the
combination .
