A Step Towards Providing Better Protection
DGP D Shukla said that if any woman calls the police control room, the pink force will reach the spot within five minutes and detain the accused.
He also added that if a woman complains that she is being assaulted, needs medical help or has met with an accident, the pink force will reach the spot and admit her to the hospital.
The move to launch the Special Force came after the purview of the BJP-led government facing criticism for mishandling violent crimes against tourists and women and neglecting the situation of law and order in the state.
