Noida: The Noida police will be issuing red cards as warning to men caught stalking women or passing comments. The attempt is seen as a confidence-booster for women who fear reporting such incidents to the police for fear of reprisal. The Noida police will seek feedback from residents, school girls, college students and professionals to identify areas prone to eveteasing and harassment of women.
“Once the offender is identified, we will make sure that his personal details, including his address and contact number, are taken in a register for future record and a red card issued to him. This will serve as a warning to those who harass women verbally or otherwise. If the individual is found committing the offence again, strict action will be taken. The red card is essentially a non-coercive measure,” said Vineet Jaiswal, SP (Rural), Gautam Budh Nagar. The red card will forewarn that making derogatory comment about a woman or following her are offences inviting jail term.(IANS)
