Delhi's 'Shishtachar' Squads: Enhancing Women Safety

Delhi Police has launched 'Shishtachar' squads to enhance women’s safety, focusing on preventing eve teasing and harassment. These squads, operating in malls and markets, are tasked with identifying suspicious activities and conducting regular patrols to maintain a secure public environment for women.

In a move aimed at bolstering women's safety, the Delhi Police has rolled out 'Shishtachar' squads across the city. Their mission: to combat eve teasing and other forms of harassment, ensuring public spaces remain secure for women.

'Shishtachar' squads, operational in key areas like malls and markets, work by monitoring for and deterring any suspicious or threatening behavior. The initiative sees officers patrolling, detaining suspects, and ensuring that offenders are warned or counseled as needed.

Structured with a diverse team, including female officers and technical support, these squads are equipped with vehicles for agility and effectiveness. The initiative aligns with similar safety strategies promised in political manifestos to address public safety concerns for women.
