The Delhi Police is set to open the city's first women's police station in the Sabzi Mandi police station complex in north Delhi to handle all crimes against women.
The pilot project is likely to open within the next few weeks and will be entirely staffed by women personnel and headed by a woman officer.
The new model police station will function like a standard station where cases will be both registered and investigated, and will take on investigation of more serious offences, including assault, stalking, and harassment.
According to senior officers, the police station will be a specialised, sensitive, and accessible space for women complainants, where reporting crimes and seeking assistance does not become intimidating.
The move is part of a push by Delhi Police to strengthen its response to crimes against women, and will be rolled out on a pilot basis in north Delhi and will later be replicated across districts.
