Delhi plans to install help desks to guarantee the safety of women delegates and officials associated with the Commonwealth Games
As the date for the much-awaited Commonwealth Games approaches, the Delhi government is planning to install gender help desks across the city to guarantee the safety of women delegates and officials associated with the Games. According to Rakesh Mehta, chief secretary of Delhi, help desks are going to be established at various entry points to the city such as the airport, the railway stations, interstate bus terminals, sports stadiums and the Commonwealth Games Village. The government is also working with various support agencies to make sure that the rights and privacy of women delegates is respected at all times. These desks will be functional only two weeks ahead of the event and will be operational all day long at the entry points and for 16 hours daily at the stadiums.
