Better security for women is the need of the hour

There are a huge number of women using trains as daily figures put the number at 20 lakh. The Government Railway Police (GRP) saying it recorded 517 cases of attacks on women last year, including molestation, assault and verbal molestation. Consider that this year, this number has already crossed 500 and one can see the rise in the number of cases. We must also take into consideration that these are reported cases, so many are not reported at all. This incident has to spur on greater security measures and not become yet another statistic in the railway books. u00a0
