The Tiruchi district police joined hands with various departments of the district administration to set up Women Help Desks to address concerns raised by women and children. With assistance from the Nirbhaya Fund, set up by the central government, the desks would be a one-stop for grievance redressal of women through the policing system. Speaking to The Hindu, police personnel from the Women's Help Desk said that 15 police stations in the district, including five All-Women Police Stations would have these help desks where-in two police personnel - a Sub Inspector and a constable- would be deputed to assist women. “The desk would work round-the-clock and will assist the women in getting access to any help,” they said.
