Noida: Following directions from Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh Government, the Gautam Buddh Nagar administration and police launched a government campaign, focusing on women's safety, to ensure a secure environment for women.

The 'Mission Shakti' campaign — which will run from October 17-25 in its first phase will involve awareness programmes. Senior IAS officer, Ritu Maheshwari, who has been appointed as Nodal officer for the campaign in GB Nagar, flagged off a LED van from DM camp office in sector 27 of Noida on Saturday.

While addressing media, Maheshwari said that the mission is focused to make women aware of their rights and all the government run schemes for their welfare must be properly passed on to them.
