Rajasthan CM flags off 42 women PCR vans from police headquarters

Rajasthan CM Bhajanlal Sharma launches 42 women-dedicated PCR vans integrated with Abhay Command Centre for 24/7 emergency response.

"Our aim is to build a safe and secure environment where women feel confident and protected at all times. - Bhajanlal Sharma"

Jaipur, April 10

Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma on Friday flagged off 42 women-dedicated PCR vans from the police headquarters, reinforcing the State Government's commitment to strengthening women's safety and security across Rajasthan.

Addressing the gathering, the Chief Minister said that ensuring the safety, dignity, and empowerment of women remains a top priority for the government. He noted that continuous efforts are being made to strengthen the Women's Safety Helpline 1090 and enhance the responsiveness of law enforcement agencies.

"Our aim is to build a safe and secure environment where women feel confident and protected at all times," he said. Highlighting the role of technology in modern policing, Bhajanlal Sharma stated that the Rajasthan Police is being equipped with advanced resources to ensure prompt action in cases involving crimes against women.

These newly flagged-off PCR vans will operate 24 hours a day, enabling a swift response to emergencies and incidents.

The Chief Minister informed that the PCR units will be integrated with the 'Abhay Command Centre,' functioning on the lines of the 'Dial 112' emergency system. Each vehicle is equipped with a Mobile Data Terminal (MDT), allowing real-time communication between field teams and the command centre. This integration will ensure faster coordination and immediate response based on live inputs.

In addition to MDTs, the vehicles are fitted with GPS tracking systems, folding stretchers, LED light bars, and other essential equipment to enhance operational efficiency and emergency preparedness.

The Women's Safety Helpline 1090 continues to serve as a critical support system for women facing harassment, exploitation, or violence. The strengthened response mechanism, combined with dedicated PCR units, is expected to significantly improve on-ground assistance and timely intervention.

The event was attended by Minister of State for Home Jawahar Singh Bedham, Chief Secretary V. Srinivas, Director General of Police Rajiv Kumar Sharma, and other senior officials.

Good initiative by CM Sharma. The tech with GPS and real-time communication is crucial. But the real test is the ground response time and the behaviour of the personnel. Training and accountability are key. Let's hope this isn't just a photo-op.

I'm visiting Rajasthan soon and this news is reassuring. A dedicated response system for women's safety is essential for any major tourist destination. Well done to the state government for prioritizing this.

The equipment list is impressive – MDT, GPS, stretchers. This shows a move towards professional, tech-enabled policing. However, 42 vans for the entire state? Need to ensure adequate coverage for rural and remote areas too. The intent is good, but scale matters.

Finally! This was long needed. The 1090 helpline is a lifeline, and faster PCR vans will make it more effective. My request: please run awareness campaigns so every woman, especially in smaller towns, knows how to access this help. Jai Rajasthan!

A solid step forward for women's safety. The integration with Dial 112 is a good move for unified emergency response. Hope the government also focuses on preventive measures - better street lighting, community patrols, and sensitization programs in colleges.
