Shishtachar Squads Set to Patrol Delhi
In a major move towards improving public safety, the Delhi Police is launching ‘Shishtachar Squads’ aimed at tackling eve-teasing and ensuring civic discipline in public spaces across Delhi.
Focus on Women’s Safety
These special squads will be deployed in key public areas, including markets, bus stops, metro stations, and educational institutions. Their main objective is to curb harassment and ensure women feel safe throughout the city.
Proactive Law Enforcement
The initiative is part of a broader strategy to promote respectful behavior and prevent crimes against women. The squads will also take action against public indecency and related offenses.
Enhanced Surveillance and Quick Response
The Shishtachar Squads will include male and female officers, trained for rapid response and equipped with modern surveillance tools to monitor suspicious activities and act swiftly on complaints.
Public Support and Awareness Campaigns
Authorities will also run awareness campaigns to inform citizens about the squad’s presence and encourage reporting of harassment cases. The police hope this will create a deterrent effect citywide.
Commitment to Safe Delhi
The Delhi Police Commissioner emphasized that ensuring safety and dignity for all citizens, especially women, is a top priority. The Shishtachar Squads represent a proactive approach towards building a secure and respectful environment.
