Women Police Stations to be set up in Chennai ECR-OMR
Posted on: 05/Dec/2019 2:09:44 PM
The Police Department has undertaken the initiatives for setting up 2 all-women Police Stations at Chennai ECR (East Coast Road) and OMR (Old Mahabalipuram Road) under the jurisdiction of Adyar Police district.
There are 13 Law and Order Police Stations functioning under the Chennai Adyar Police District including 3 All-women Police stations. In this, 1 is meant for Kumaran Nagar, Saidapet Police Station. There are 2 more All-women Police stations in the balance 11.
Presently, the residents of the Kanathur and Neelankarai need to go to the Adyar Women`s Police Station and the residents of Semmanchery, Kannagi Nagar, and Thuraipakkam need to go to the Guindy Women’s Police Station. This involves a considerable waste of time, travel, and a few days’ visits as well apart from the delay in nabbing the culprit and holdups in the enquiry.
So, the Police department has decided to set up 2 All Women’s Police Stations in ECR and OMR.
Accordingly, an all Women’s Police Station will be set up covering Kanathur, Neelankarai, and Thiruvanmiyur in ECR. Similarly, another Women’s Police Station will be set up in OMR covering the regions of Semmanchery, Kannagi Nagar, and Thuraippakkam.
Files regarding this proposal have been submitted for government approval. It is expected that an official announcement on setting up these 2 new All Women’s Police Stations will be released in 1 or 2 months’ time.
