Delhi CM Orders Monthly Follow-Up Reports From Sakhi Centres
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta visited a Sakhi centre that helps women and girls affected by violence.
She told all such centres to send her office a report every month about how cases are progressing.
The reports should say what the police and courts have done, including whether an FIR was filed or an arrest was made.
Officials should note when police stations are slow to provide information and raise the delay with senior officers.
They must follow cases involving girls under the POCSO law on time and keep their records private.
Victims and their families should be told about the latest case updates.
Sakhi centres can provide counselling, medical care, legal help and police support.
They can also arrange a safe place to stay and basic necessities.
Women can reach the services through the toll-free helpline 181.
Rekha Gupta directed Delhi’s Sakhi One Stop Centres to send monthly reports detailing case progress and assistance provided.
Reports should track police action, FIRs, arrests and legal proceedings, not merely count complaints.
Officials must record delays in receiving police-station information and raise them with senior police officers.
Gupta called for time-bound, confidential follow-up of POCSO cases involving girls and updates for victims and their families.
At Lok Nayak Hospital, she reviewed counselling, medical and legal help, police assistance and temporary shelter available through the centres.
