A new help desk called "Sahayya Kaksh" has opened at the Shivajinagar Court in Pune. This desk helps people who have been hurt by bad crimes. Judge Mahendra Mahajan started this desk to help victims of crimes like abuse and attacks.
Ms. Sonal Patil made this help desk to make sure victims get good care and can live a normal life again. The desk works with something called the Manodhairya Scheme, which gives money, medical help, and caring support to people who have been hurt.
The help desk has done a very good job. In 2023, they helped 209 people out of 248 who needed help. In 2024, they helped even more people – 338 out of 402 cases.
Some good things have happened because of this help desk. Two little sisters who were hurt got 10 lakh rupees each to help them. In another case, some people who were hurt at Bopdev Ghat got 5 lakh rupees right away. A person who was hurt by acid also got 10 lakh rupees for treatment.
Many people work together at this help desk – like judges, doctors, and helpers. They make sure that anyone who is hurt gets help quickly. They not only give money but also help people feel better and start a new life. This shows that the court really wants to take care of people who have been hurt by crimes.
