MCD Enhances Security Measures in Delhi Parks After Aastha Kunj Incident
Following the gang rape of a 17-year-old at Aastha Kunj Park, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) is enhancing safety measures across its parks. With over 15,000 parks but limited security personnel and no CCTV coverage, MCD plans to install cameras at entry and exit points of larger parks and increase guard deployment. Additional steps include improving lighting, repairing boundary walls, pruning vegetation to eliminate blind spots, and conducting regular safety audits and inspections, with coordination from the Delhi government and police.
