Non-installation of CCTVs in DTC buses
New Delhi: The Delhi Commission for Women has asked the Transport Commissioner to explain reason behind non-deployment of marshals in the buses and non-installation of CCTV cameras amid a rise in cases of eve-teasing.
Taking suo motu congnisance on media reports regarding rampant eve-teasing and harassment on DTC buses, the DCW said several women and girls across Delhi face harassment on a daily basis.
Citing a case of a college student who faced extreme harassment on DTC route no 544 due to which she had to jump off the bus, the DCW in its notice asked the reason behind non-deployment of marshals in the buses and non-installation of CCTV cameras.
The DCW has set up an inquiry into the matter and issued a notice to the Secretary-cum-Commissioner, Dept of Transport, Delhi Government and Delhi Police.
Further, other issues such as lack of adequate number of buses especially during rush hours, lack of adequate number of women-only buses on requisite routes were also highlighted.
