Speaking to a news agency, UP DG Daljeet Chowdury said, “The arrests made by the police have been made on the charges of eve-teasing and stalking women”. "We have formed a special anti-eve teasing squad to manage such incidents. Our main idea is to give warning and counselling to these eve-teasers”.
DG also ensured that said that "the women helpline 1090 is active for 24 hours; and any woman can call on the same and file a complaint regarding anyone who they feel has been stalker her or eve-teasing her.
He also added that even female police officers have been made a part of this special team.
Since it has been only couple of days that CM Adityanath has resumed office, such action against eve-teasers is gives across a strong message and would hopefully reduce the number of such cases reported on the daily basis.
