NCW gets 165 more complaints from Rajasthan in January-July 2021 than first 7 months of 2020 | Jaipur News
While 478 complaints were registered between January and July last year, 643 were lodged till July this year.
The complaints are of acid attacks, domestic violence, dowry deaths, police apathy, rapes, female foeticides, sexual harassment/assaults, stalking and others.
Out of 907 complaints registered in 2020, Jaipur’s share was 134, the highest among all districts. This year too, the capital district recorded 106 complaints, the maximum among all districts.
Apart from Jaipur, districts such as Alwar with 48 complaints and Bharatpur (41) also recorded a significantly high number of complaints of atrocities against women.
Officials claimed that the number of complaints in 2021 would easily surpass previous year’s records.
In 2019, a total of 764 complaints were received by the NCW from the state.
“Since Rajasthan has no active women commission, it leaves the women with no option but to write to the NCW. Repeated reminders to the state government have been futile. Incidents of crimes against women are reported daily. The commission has already received 71 complaints in August,” said an official.
Last month, the NCW had written to DGP stating that it was seriously concerned about increasing crimes against women and girls.
In 2021, the commission has written to the authorities several times about the security of the women.
It also suggested that police officers of all levels be imparted special training to deal with women related crimes especially rape and sexual assault cases.
