Subject: ESTABLISHMENT OF C.C.BS. #
I have been directed to intimate you that as provided under Section 98 of PLGO-2001, Citizen Community Boards (CCBs) can be established for any new or existing public facility which, inter alia, includes mosques/places of worship. In the wake of recent spate of sectarian terrorism, security of mosques, situated in any local area, has assumed serious dimensions. In this regard, funds can be generated and expended on purchase / provision of walk-through security gates and hand-held metal detectors through the C.C.Bs. Under the prevailing conditions, it is imperative that C.C.Bs may be established, on priority, to achieve the desired objectives. Prompt action, on this count, will be highly appreciated.
