Government blind to the needs of only all-women PS

Government blind to the needs of only all-women PS
The State Home Department headed by none other than Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi is perhaps proud of having to showcase the only all-women police station in the Northeast at Panbazar in Guwahati. The police station was set up on October 2, 1993, taking the rising crime graph against women into account. The police station has a vast area of operation — right from Khonamukh to Bonda to Khanapara to North Guwahati — an area that is covered by about 20 general police stations. Since crimes against women like dowry, sexual harassment, domestic quarrels etc are on the rise, the all-women police station has an uphill task to perform.
