Jaipur: The number of complaints received by the National Commission for Women (NCW) from Rajasthan in the first seven months of this year exceeded the numbers in the same period in 2020 with a significant margin.
While 478 complaints were registered between January and July last year, 643 was submitted until July this year.
Complaints are acid attacks, domestic violence, death dowry, apathetic police, rape, female fools, sexual abuse / attacks, stalkers and others.
Of the 907 listed complaints in 2020, Jaipur’s share was 134, the highest among all districts.
This year also, Capital District recorded 106 complaints, maximum among all districts.
Apart from Jaipur, districts such as Alwar with 48 complaints and Bharatpur (41) also recorded a large number of complaints of atrocity towards women.
The official claimed that the number of complaints in 2021 would easily exceed the previous year’s record.
In 2019, a total of 764 complaints were received by NCW from the country.
“Because Rajasthan did not have an active female commission, he left women without choice but to write to NCW.
Repeated reminders to the state government had been in vain.
The incident of crime against women was reported every day.
The Commission has received 71 complaints in August,” said an official.
Last month, NCW had written to the DGP stating that it was very concerned about the increasing crime against women and girls.
In 2021, the Commission had written to the authorities several times about the security of women.
It also suggested that police officers from all levels provide special training to deal with women related crimes, especially cases of sexual violence.
