Collective efforts needed to check robberies and crime against women.

This incident took place in the evening. I have been watching the steep rise in crime cases in Ludhiana for th e past few days. I appeal to the police to look into such matters," says Savita Mishra.


Harleen Kaur, a sports player says, "Don’t blame girls and women for how they choose to dress. 

Violence can’t be prevented by limiting the freedom of girls. This only allows the violence to continue because it motivates the criminals.

There must be the deployment of police officers outside public places in general so that criminals should be caught red-handed. 

Should we stop playing tennis because of the way our body is projected? Our dreams matter more than our clothes."
