Deputy Inspector General of Police O.P. Mishra told reporters here that a women’s helpline has been relaunched and every police station would have women personnel who would handle cases in which women are victims.

The 24-hour helpline number is 1091.

“A policewoman would be accessible on the number every minute,” Mishra said.

“Every woman victim deserves a patient hearing at the police station by the reporting officer, a quick response and a follow-up on her complaint so that her trust and confidence in law enforcement agency is not lost,” Mishra said.
