Pink Patrol, a women-led police patrol initiative, was launched for the first time in the Nilgiris district to assist women and children in public spaces.
It aims to prevent crimes against women and children and make it easier for victims to report offences without hesitation.
Ten pink patrol vehicles will operate across Udhagamandalam, Coonoor, Kotagiri, and Gudalur.
The patrols will focus on safeguarding girl students from harassment during school and college opening and closing hours.
