He said that Uttar Pradesh, which was surrounded by questions regarding women’s safety before 2017, has today become a new identity of women’s safety and strength. Over the past 9.5 years, a zero-tolerance policy towards crime and criminals, technology-based surveillance, prompt police action, and public awareness campaigns have played a decisive role in creating a fear-free environment for women in the state.
Strengthening the Women’s Security System: CM Yogi stated that initiatives like the five phases of Mission Shakti, the Safe City Project, Mission Shakti Centers, and Women‘s Beat Policing have provided a broad and robust foundation for the women’s security system.

Additionally, three women PAC battalions have been formed in the names of Veerangna Uda Devi Pasi in Lucknow, Veerangna Jhalkari Bai Kori in Gorakhpur, and Veerangna Avanti Bai Lodhi in Badaun.
