These cops have been given training in fitness, self defense techniques, short-range firing etc.
As per the police, incidence of snatching and eve-teasing incidents are common in Dwarka.
Yet at present women hesitate to approach the police as they have inhibitions in sharing their problems with male cops. Deployment of woman police will solve the problem once and for all.
