PANAJI

Goa Forward Party (GFP) President Vijai Sardesai has written to the State government to set up women’s police stations (WPS) in every taluka to ensure a safe environment. In his letter to Chief Secretary Puneet Goel, the Fatorda legislator said that this initiative will not only ensure the safety and well-being of women across Goa but also enhance the overall security of the State.
“With rapidly growing tourism and an increasing number of working women, there is a need to ensure that our women feel safe, secure, and empowered in all respects. The establishment of WPS in every taluka is a significant step towards achieving this objective,” he said.
Sardesai had also moved a Calling Attention during the monsoon session of the Legislative Assembly citing that creating WPS in all talukas will provide a safe and welcoming environment where women can report crimes, seek assistance and find support without fear of judgment or prejudice.
In his three-page letter, the legislator urged the CS to consider his demand seriously, adding that it will also ensure harmony in the society.
