Persian, Urdu words discontinued in Haryana
Haryana cops to drop Persian, Urdu words from FIRs
Anita Singh TNN 2013/06/27
Karnal: In an effort to simplify Daily Diary Reports and First Information Reports, Haryana police have decided to do away with archaic and difficult words and phrases from Persian and Urdu languages.
These have been in use in Haryana since the pre-Independence period. Words like muddayi (complainant), muddala (accused), tameel (execution), aala-e-qatal (murder weapon), taftish (investigation), to name a few, baffle complainants when they are handed a copy of the FIR.
The head of the state crime records bureau, said the department has initiated the move to incorporate simple Hindi words in the complaints.
