Bhubaneswar: If everything goes according to plan, the capital will soon have a unit patrolled all women to respond to complaints from women in trouble.
The planned establishment of the teams at the police station also on the runway.
“We are working on the concept and will immediately provide final form.
Security and security of women are our top priority,” said Police Commissioner Saumendra Priyadarshi.
Although crime against women is not worried about Bhubaneswar, the proposed team will further strengthen women’s safety and arouse trust in them.
According to the plan, the proposed all women “he team” will patrol near educational institutions, women’s hostels, shopping centers and parks.
They will become the first respondent with women’s complaints and provide immediate assistance in cases related to Eve-tempting, grabbing and other street crimes against women.
Police Komisionce recently issued the WhatsApp 7077798111 number for residents to report street crimes, including grabbing, harassment and eve-teasing in the capital city.
The police have been on their feet after burst into a crime during the day, especially grabbing cellphones and gold chains across the capital city, over the past few months.
At least 50 incidents of snatching have occurred every month.
Some incidents were not reported as victims not approaching the police to ask for help.
Most of the victims of street crimes are women.
In many cases, criminals attack women before taking their belongings.
Police have treated cases that grab as robbery to ensure strict punishment to guilty.
It must be noted that police gajapati, sambalpur, and coraput in the past launched a dedicated women’s safety wing.
Police in Koraput have formed the Anti-Romeo squad in the city of Jeypore in September 2018 to come to the rescue of women in trouble.
Police in Gajapati have started their team in Paradanghemundi in June 2019 to ensure women’s safety in public places.
Police Sambalpur has launched WE (Women’s Empowerment) forces in June 2018.
The troops were formed by police by attracting their personnel from various police stations.
Although the police station was required to handle all types of crime, special wings mostly handle Eve-teasing cases, stalking and harassment.
