New Delhi: In an effort to strengthen women’s safety in the national capital, women police personnel from Delhi’s North-West District conducted a special foot patrol drive in parks and nearby public places. The initiative aimed to enhance security arrangements and reassure women and other visitors that they can move around public spaces without fear.
The campaign was carried out under the supervision of North-West District DCP Akanksha Yadav, with female police personnel maintaining a visible presence across parks and surrounding areas.
How Is Delhi Police Strengthening Women’s Safety?
During the special drive, women police officers conducted regular checks and kept a close watch on suspicious activities in public spaces. They also interacted with women, young girls and other visitors, assuring them of police support and encouraging them to report any suspicious behaviour.
The visible presence of police personnel was also intended to discourage anti-social elements and reinforce the message that activities threatening women’s safety would remain under police surveillance.
Focus on Safe and Fear-Free Public Spaces
The North-West District Police initiative seeks to ensure that women can visit parks, commute and carry out their daily activities without fear. The department is also focusing on preventing untoward incidents through regular patrolling and timely intervention.
Delhi Police has appealed to women to seek immediate assistance rather than panic during emergencies. Women can contact the women’s helpline at 1091 or the emergency response number 112 for police assistance.
