Not enough done for safety of women: CM Arvind Kejriwal

Five years after the December 16 gang rape incident, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Saturday that not enough has been done for the security of women. The national AAP convener, however, said that his government is all set to install CCTV surveillance cameras across the city to ensure that the city has enough eyes.

The AAP government, before coming to power in 2015, had promised better security for women in the Capital and was the on top of the agenda in the party's manifesto.

"A few years ago, on this day, the Nirbhaya incident took place. I don't think we have taken any bold steps towards bolstering the security of women. It is a matter of concern for all of us and we should not indulge in blaming each other.

However, I am happy that the Public Works Department (PWD) has taken a solid step in this direction. The tenders for installing CCTV cameras have been opened. Soon, we will have CCTV cameras across the city," said Kejriwal on the sidelines of the inauguration of a flyover loop in Mukundpur.
