He said the police have been asked to take timely action and behave properly with the victims; they should register any complaint by anybody who approaches the police station
"We have started Mission Shakti which is aimed at women security, and Uttar Pradesh has women's help desk in all the police stations. About 1,565 police stations are there in Uttar Pradesh and more than 200 are there in our zone in Lucknow. We are doing a lot of things for the awareness campaign about women's safety and security as well, we took enforcement very seriously under the Pocso Act and women related crimes were addressed by us promptly."
He said women constables are assigned beats for better policing and they are not confined only to police stations.

Despite Supreme Court order in the last two years the zone did not have any major law and order problem although we have many challenges. "We take a lot of precautions to maintain communal harmony."
