DU women students voice safety concerns despite police Pink Booths

THE BRIEF
1

Delhi University women students reported safety concerns regarding poorly lit lanes, eve-teasing, and unstaffed police Pink Booths while returning to hostels and accommodations.

2

Students from Miranda House, Jesus and Mary College, and Lady Shri Ram College noted that booths lacked continuous police presence or responsiveness during emergencies.

The concerns follow Lieutenant-Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu's recent directives to Delhi Police to increase patrolling and picket-checking around women's colleges after a student's gang rape.
