Agartala May 15: A delegation of women under Tripura Mahila Sangram Parishad on Monday placed deputation to the Director General of Police at the Police Headquarters, Agartala demanding action towards controlling crime against women across the state.

Speaking to the reporters Bijaya Khatun, general secretary of the organization said, “Women from all walks of life in the state starting from minors to school and college going students are extremely insecure”.

Condemning the recent incident of gang-rape of a college girl, Khatun added, “Many cases of domestic violence, incidents of crime against women in work place and others are not even registered because of fear or because of pressure from upper hand”.

Tripura Mahila Sangam Parishad demanded that the police must take strict stand in every incident of gang rape and other incidents of women related crimes.

Apart from that, the women’s organization further demanded formation of a valid and empowered vigilance committee up to the panchayat level to prevent women's abuse.
