She emphasised the importance of parents monitoring their children’s movements. She also announced that the Shakti app would soon be available for women to download on their mobile phones to seek police assistance in emergency situations.
Later, she felicitated the women staff and served lunch to them. Prizes were awarded to students who excelled in various competitions held on this occasion, with SP Vakul Jindal also in attendance.
