Yadav said that the initiative was taken after the gang-rape incident that not just jolted Delhi and earned India a lot of international opprobrium over public safety, particularly of women.
All the 11 police districts in New Delhi have been asked to be on high alert regarding women's safety and the officers have been ordered to handle women-related distress calls on priority.
Police attending the calls at 100 - Police Control Room (PCR) and at 1091 (a special desk to attend women-related calls) - have been instructed to take immediate action when they get a distress call from a woman. Yadav can also be reached any time on his direct number 09818099012.
