| Summary, etc |
Thikri Pehra (Pahara) means to ‘guard at local level’ or to provide Night Vigil/Watch for a locality may be a village, town or city in emergencies or in normal times. It may be a term unknown to many in the present Generation. Thikri Pehra is an age old concept in the Indian Society, perhaps emerged ‘As and When’ ‘humans’ felt the need for their security. In the early times, the concept of State police was non-existent, thus people were responsible for guarding themselves, against any threat to their life and property. With the coming of State Police or Organised Police, the onus of individual security and security has got shifted to the Police only. Police are playing a multidimensional role today, virtually looking after all the security needs of every individual besides maintaining law and order in society. Today, Police have added responsibilities to perform such as personal verifications, providing security to V.I.Ps, dealing with emergencies such as fire and floods or any other natural or unnatural calamity. Police also have a role to play in sensitising society on many aspects related to life. Pressures of technological developments and changing norms of governance, where transparency and accountability are of prime importance, can visibly be seen. Thus, Police are reeling from pressure of high expectations of society and their limitations to perform under the given work environment which is further hard pressed by the ever increasing population and crime. In the light of above presented scenario, not too frequently used practice, popularly known as Thikri pehra, of early times, to provide security and safety to the residents at local level and relieve police of some of its ever increasing burden, has been examined and assessed to prove its relevance in present times.
