/ -- Godrej Locks, a brand synonymous with trust, quality, and safety, will be commemorating 3rd Home Safety Day observed every year on 15 November. Home Safety Day aims to encourage people to be protected against threats like robberies, burglaries, and thefts. The company is all set to observe this day with newer initiatives to be announced.
Robberies, burglaries and thefts continue to be a grave concern for the masses as well as the authorities. As per the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), 2,44,119 cases of robbery, theft, burglary, dacoity, among others, took place in residential premises in 2017. While the number of cases in 2016, stood at 2,20,854. With a 10.53% increase in such cases, home safety is a concern which needs continual attention. Acknowledging the issue, Godrej Locks earmarked Home Safety Day in 2017 and since then introduced new ways in which people could be sensitised towards home safety.
Commenting on the Home Safety Day, Shyam Motwani, Executive VP & Head of Business, Godrej Locks, said, "Robberies, thefts and burglaries are increasing at over 10% every year across Indian homes. While home safety related incidences have risen, 64% Indians are not equipped to handle such threats. This data is alarmingly high and just proves that there is a need for more vigilance and reinforced measures to elevate safety of homes across India. As a responsible and trusted corporate brand, Godrej Locks is committed to bring a substantial change in the behaviour of people towards home safety. #HarGharSurakshit, launched by us last year, is an example of our long term commitment that will drive this change and make people safety conscious."
