Puducherry Lt Governor Kiran Bedi on Saturday said she went incognito for a night check on women safety in Puducherry and found it “safe”.                       

The night check was done incognito, as a pillion rider on a two-wheeler to personally check on how secure it was for women at night to be on the road, on in a public place.

The round indicated the need to ensure police presence with mobility as a strong measure of crime prevention and response.

She said she would suggest a few measures which cops needed to take to enhance the security environment.                    

“Found Puducherry reasonably safe at night. But it will be improved,” said the former senior cop, who was also among the first to react to the recent Chandigarh molestation case.
