Delhi Police Enhance 'Shishtachar' Squads with Hotspot Mapping and Community Engagement
Delhi Police have decided to strengthen district-wise 'Shishtachar' anti-eve teasing squads to prevent harassment and crimes against women in public spaces. Measures include hotspot mapping, regular patrolling, surprise checks in public transport, and deployment of plain-clothed women officers as decoys. The squads will work with community groups like Resident Welfare Associations to enhance vigilance and encourage reporting. Emphasis was placed on victim protection and sensitive, law-focused enforcement during a meeting chaired by the Special Commissioner of Police.
