New Delhi: Delhi Lieutenant Governor T.S. Sandhu on Friday inaugurated a dedicated Women Police Station with all-female staff in North District’s Subzi Mandi area, expressing confidence that the institution will provide women a secure environment to report grievances.
Addressing the gathering, L-G Sandhu said that a safe and empowered woman is the foundation of a progressive society.
“Together, we will continue working towards building a secure, inclusive, and empowered,” he said in a message on X.
The Lieutenant Governor said on social media, “Guided by the vision of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi Ji that Nari Shakti is the cornerstone of nation-building, this vital institution will provide women with a supportive and secure environment to report grievances, seek justice, and access assistance without fear.”
The new Police Station is staffed entirely by women, marking a big step towards creating a more gender-sensitive policing system with special focus on crimes against women, including domestic violence, sexual harassment and stalking.
Later, he also reviewed key women’s safety initiatives of the Delhi Police, including Pink Booths and the ‘Sashakti’ drive.
He also directed the force to establish more such stations across the capital, setting a new benchmark for women-friendly policing and responsive law enforcement.
Earlier, the Lieutenant Governor delivered the keynote address at the National Seminar on ‘AI for Good Governance’ at Dr. Ambedkar International Centre.
In a message on X, Sandhu said, “Artificial Intelligence presents unprecedented opportunities to transform governance from being merely platform-driven to intelligence-driven. For these systems to deliver meaningful outcomes, however, they must reflect India’s linguistic, cultural, and socio-economic diversity rather than reduce it to simplified models.”
“Guided by the vision of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodiJi, building sovereign AI capabilities that are aligned with India’s unique requirements and anchored in transparency, data privacy, and public trust remains a national priority,” he said.
“The collective responsibility of policymakers, academicians, researchers, and industry leaders is to ensure that these transformative technologies strengthen accountability, enhance service delivery, empower citizens, and accelerate our journey towards a #ViksitBharat and a future-ready #ViksitDilli,” said Sandhu.
