The Bihar administration is fortifying protections for women through sweeping new protocols for all girls’ hostels and lodges. Registration is now compulsory across the board, emphasizing secure habitats that honor dignity and equality for students and career women.
Every site must station a female warden nonstop. Comprehensive police clearances apply to all on-site workers, including security, culinary, and maintenance teams. Heightened vigilance comes from CCTV networks spanning front doors, walkways, dining halls, and full compounds, archiving footage for 30 days minimum.
Operators are tasked with superior lighting, sanitation, tamper-proof doors and locks, plus metal mesh on windows. A visitor logbook will record names, mobiles, and Aadhaar numbers scrupulously. Bedrooms are male-free zones. Biometric tech ensures verified attendance, particularly after dark.
Crisis info boards will feature 112, police contacts, women’s desks, and Abhaya Brigade lines. App-based safety training via 112 India will equip dwellers for threats. Police-led joint patrols will conduct routine verifications, pouncing on irregularities with decisive force.
No shortcuts on safety, declares the government. This blueprint heralds a safer tomorrow, resolutely shielding Bihar’s women from harm.
