Noida: Aiming to provide better policing and safety to women, the Gautam Buddh Nagar police commissioner, Laxmi Singh, on Friday inaugurated two pink police booths at bus stand of Phase-2 and Kulesara under Phase-2 and Ecotech-3 police station areas.
According to officials, these booths are strategically located in areas with high female footfall to provide swift police assistance to women in need.
While addressing the programme, the Police Commissioner encouraged the women to feel free to lodge their complaints at the police pink booth.
