Opposition not in favour of frisking youth- The Opposition party has asked the home and cultural affairs ministry to properly review the recent proposal made by the Royal Bhutan Police to frisk youth after 10pm if they are seen in groups.

In a letter addressed to the home minister, the Opposition party highlighted that such a measure might lead to demoralising youth and alienating them from the society as well as breed unnecessary resentment, fear and mistrust by the youth against law enforcing agencies.

Besides having serious repercussions on the moral, dignity and self-esteem among the youth, such a measure could damage the friendly existing relationship between the police and the youth, the letter says. The Royal Bhutan Police has been successful so far in building a cordial relationship with the youth through its Police-Youth-Partnership Programme.

The letter also says that there was a possibility of police personnel resorting to excessive force. “It could lead to suspension of freedom of movement and criminalisation of our youth.”

The Opposition in the same letter also proposed for alternative ways to reduce youth related crimes, rather than such drastic measures. Some of the proposals include strict enforcement of existing laws such as closing time for bars and entertainment establishments, age limit for entry and sale of alcohol and sale and distribution of drugs and other substances.

The Opposition also proposed for inspection at entrances of public events and facilities backed by strong advocacy and awareness programmes.
