NCW asks police to identify unsafe spots for women in Delhi

The National Commission for Women Wednesday asked the Delhi Police to identify unsafe or vulnerable areas in the city and give better protection to women by increasing patrolling and installing more CCTVs at such spots.

An NCW delegation Wednesday met with officials of the Delhi Police to plan ways to strengthen coordination between the commission and the police to collectively ensure safety for women in the capital, NCW Chairperson Rekha Sharma said.

"It was also decided that the NCW would hold sensitisation workshops for the Delhi Police to improve their understanding of dealing with women in distress," she added.

"There was also emphasis by the NCW to identify unsafe or vulnerable areas/spots and give better protection to women in these areas by increasing patrolling and installing more CCTVs," Sharma said.

The complaints and investigation cell of the NCW highlighted the areas that require better coordination between them, she said.
