ANSWER: Engage housewives for curbing crimes against women
- The Delhi Police are roping in housewives to serve as its ‘eyes and ears’ and report about domestic violence, suppressed cases of sexual abuse and street crimes.
- In the initiative called ‘Operation Veerangana’, the Central District police has decided to train dozens of housewives to spot and report crimes taking place in their immediate neighbourhood.
- The police are particularly targeting housewives because of their belief that these women are the “silent observers” and that their active involvement in “community-based exercises” will come handy.
- In Delhi, private detective agencies employ many housewives as detectives because of their ability to investigate without drawing attention.
