“Regular checks should be carried out to ensure uniform and unobstructed illumination at dark spots,” said Baijal, at the 10th meeting of the Task Force on Women Safety. Dark spots are places in the city where there are no street lights and have become crime-prone because of absence of lights.

“Expedite the process of installing CCTVs and panic buttons in buses and ensure that women helpline numbers are properly displayed on all DTC and cluster buses,” he added.
