Source: Bhaskar News | Last Updated 00:48(13/09/11)

Chandigarh: The Punjab government in a unique initiative has launched
a police protection service to couples who feel they might become
victims of honour killing. The state will establish Protection Home
Centres in all districts where threatened-couples can take shelter
amid security.

Spokesperson of the Punjab home department said that three centres in
Barnala, Gurdaspur and Mohali, five in Mansa, four in Hoshiarpur and
Faridkot and two in all other districts have been already established.

Newly-married couples under danger can come to these centres. They
will have to pay a suitable fee. They would get all facilities
required from these centres where they can stay for six months from
the date of their marriage.

The couples will have to apply for this protection facility in the
office of the district registrar.
