Sgr police deploys women’s safety squad at Parraypora

Srinagar: As crime rate against women is increasing in Kashmir, Srinagar police has taken an initiative of deploying a women’s squad in Parrypora which is known for its maximum tuition centers in Srinagar.
Reports said women police flying squads have been deployed in the coaching hub of Parraypora and Baghat areas to ensure safety for the girls studying in the coaching centers.
In cases of stalking, harassment, teasing or any unwanted advancement by delinquents the girls students can approach any of the female constables for instant assistance.
