Bhopal Police Launch ‘She-Shakti’ Campaign For Women’s Safety Ahead Of Festive Season

Bhopal police have commenced the 'She-Shakti' campaign to enhance women's safety and security during the festive season. Commissioner Sanjay Kumar initiated the initiative with a special rally on Sunday, where women police officers traversed various routes and intersections in both old and new city areas. These women personnel, ranging from constables to inspectors, will remain on duty to conduct constant patrols and surveillance in densely populated zones.

The primary objective of the 'She-Shakti' campaign is to address incidents of harassment, eve-teasing, indecent behavior, stalking, or any form of abuse against women and girls. Patrol teams will also focus on spreading awareness about sensitivity towards women and methods to prevent crimes. The teams will be supervised by senior police officials.

The police urge women and girls to not remain silent about any form of harassment, threats, stalking, molestation, or cyber harassment and to promptly report such incidents to the police. For the campaign, women police officers will be stationed at designated hotspots near markets, religious sites, fairs, garba and dandiya events, public gatherings, crowded places, and other frequented locations by women. Each police station will pinpoint vulnerable areas and deploy special women police patrol teams.
