  "account": "Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta addressed the recent protests by students following a gangrape incident, emphasizing the need to teach both girls and boys the importance of \"dos and don'ts\". Speaking at Maitreyi College, Gupta stated that it is not fair to restrict girls' movements under the guise of safety concerns, questioning why there are no such limitations placed on boys. The CM's visit comes as part of a series of safety measures being implemented, with 50,000 CCTV cameras and one lakh streetlights being installed across the city. Gupta, a mother, expressed her support for the daughters of the country, who are now speaking out against injustices. At the meeting chaired by Lieutenant Governor T S Sandhu, principals from various top women's colleges in Delhi University raised several safety concerns, including inadequate last-mile connectivity, unsafe parks, insufficient lighting, and other issues. The meeting also discussed the need for more 'Pink Booths', increased patrolling, and repairs to streetlights and installation of high mast lights to address dark spots along roads frequented by students. Sandhu has directed various agencies and departments to take action on these concerns, including repairing streetlights, installing CCTV cameras, increasing patrolling, and conducting safety audits around educational institutions.",
