The Conciliatory Committees have the mandate to settle four kinds of conflicts, i.e. domestic, property, brawls, transaction and trade.

He said that police is responsible for maintaining law and order and people should also cooperate with it in efforts to combat crime as well as anti-social elements. He said these bodies are helpful in easing the burden of police and hoped that their performance would further improve in future. DIG Operations said that police in the capital territory need unflinching support from residents and all other segments of society and such committees would be helpful to bridge the gap between police and public.
