Will deploy in. With the decision of Delhi government, youth from poor families will get employment and women will be able to feel safe again in buses.
Important steps regarding women’s safety
CM Atishi said that ever since the Aam Aadmi Party government was formed in Delhi in 2015 and Arvind Kejriwal became the Chief Minister of Delhi, many steps have been taken by the elected government of Delhi regarding the safety of women.
