The new police station is staffed entirely by women, marking a big step towards creating a more gender-sensitive policing system with special focus on crimes against women, including domestic violence, sexual harassment and stalking.
Later, Sandhu also reviewed key women’s safety initiatives of the Delhi Police, including Pink Booths and the ‘Sashakti’ drive.
He also directed the force to establish more such stations across the capital, setting a new benchmark for women-friendly policing and responsive law enforcement.
