Udupi, May 31: In a new initiative, Udupi Rises for Justice against Atrocities (URJAA), a non-political organization has been formed as a platform for people who have been victimized.

"Having witnessing many incidents at closed quarters in the recent times in the city, a need for a common platform for discussion for the victims was felt as the need of the hour," said URJAA member Sadhana Kini, addressing a press meet here on Friday May 31.

The reason for the formation of 'URJAA' is to create awareness of law among the rural and urban citizens, including about details of clauses and sections of the law and their implications, she said.

"In times of distress we are incapable of lodging an appropriate FIR which leads to the issue being diluted, making legal justice highly impossible. Incident and mishaps could happen to anyone at any time but timely assistance and guidance are not available, as a result citizens are demoralized and harassed in many ways," said Sadhana Kini.

"We are creating this platform to try and bring down the level of grievances of the people and bridge the gap between citizens and legal issues. Official inauguration of the forum will be held soon. We welcome the citizens of Udupi to become members of this forum after its registration," she said.

Ambika Nayak narrated an incident wherein some persons allegedly attacked her and looted her ornaments and camera, but were roaming freely without any action being taken against them despite a complaint.

“Even though I have clear video footage of the attackers, I have been denied justice. I have proof with me that the culprits have not been arrested yet," she said.

"My husband is in Dubai I stay with two my children. Some unknown people attacked me and I sustained a fracture. These things could happen to anyone. Where shall I go? Now, people like me we will get a platform to discuss our problems and issues and get proper follow-ups," she added.

Divya Hegde, Ambika G Nayak, Anitha Nayak and Revathi Nadiger were present.

    Hospital., police station, Court, is a part of society, you cant avoid it when you live, for some people its a daily affair.If you dont have experience of police & court, people take advantage.Everybody might feel @ some point, to know what is Bihar no need to go there, even in Udupi you can experience it. Here people dont fight back, i guess day has come, you must put an end to injustice.

    Yes, sisters, its the need of the hour. Justice has become a costly affair these days and justice is sold too. With this initiative, I am sure we can do justice to the victims. Dont be biased or succumb to political pressure. Treat the victim as human being. Dont go by his caste, faith and affiliation.. Its not a cake walk, my sisters. U hv to work hard and the road ahead is full of stones and thorns and not at all of roses and flowers. Good luck to you. Should you need any help please let me know

    If all are united, justice can be done. In this world, culprits are free and the victims are having nightmares. There should be a limit for everything. I have heard about Sadhana Kini. She was helping people who were relatives of patients in KMC Manipal. KMC is such a vast hospital, the people from far away places come there and do not know whom to contact for their need. This Sadhana is helping them. All the best ladies, move forward, we want you as the leaders.

    If what these ladies are saying is true, it is a mental torture to realize that the culprits are as free as before even after committing the crime. Police are convinced that these ladies can do nothing. Now's the time to prove that the police are the culprits are grossly mistaken.
