Jaipur, April 30 

Following in the footsteps of Yogi Adityanath government, Jaipur police have trained 52 women cops to work as anti-Romeo squads on the lines of Uttar Pradesh to tackle eve-teasers in the pink city.

Special training of a month and a half was given to 52 women cops to prevent crime against women and nab miscreants.

These cops would be moving all around the city on gearless scooters and will be carrying wireless sets.

The women squads will be put up on eight hours duty everyday in two shifts around girls’ schools, colleges, malls, markets, and theatres.

“Police have an aim to contain crime against women and not to harass any boy or girl, or couple who are with each other with mutual consent. This will be fully ensured,” Jaipur Police Commissioner Sanjay Agrawal told The Tribune. 

The plan began with Jaipur in the state, and if required it would be followed in other major cities of Rajasthan too, a police source said.
