Gorhe said, the police administration is working efficiently. They should give preference to the safety of women. A safe campus scheme should be implemented in educational institutions to spread awareness about women safety. Eve-teasing, ragging and women atrocities should be stopped through it by taking assistance from the self-help groups. Workshops on legal advice should be frequently organised and officers of the Damini Squad should be imparted regular training, she said.
