SP Raj Details Bhojpur's Abhaya Brigade for Women's Safety

• Bihar Police is forming the "Abhaya Brigade" across all districts to enhance women's safety, with preparations underway in Bhojpur.
• The brigade will be led by women police officers, with a female sub-inspector heading a team of three (one woman, two male constables) at each police station.
• Its primary goal is to curb crimes against women like rape, molestation, and chain snatching, and to raise awareness about safety.
• Teams will patrol identified "hotspot" areas near schools, colleges, and public places, in plain clothes or uniform, to monitor and act against suspicious individuals.
• The brigade's progress will be reviewed every 15 days at the headquarters level, and members will be provided with bikes/scooters for quick response.
