Impact & Concern

Such incidents raise serious concerns about women’s safety in public transport. Despite security measures repeated cases of harassment indicate a lack of strict enforcement and vigilance. Commuters are demanding stronger action to prevent such crimes.

Authorities must take immediate steps to enhance security in local trains including stricter monitoring and harsher punishments for offenders. If protectors turn into predators who will ensure public safety.?
