India Needs Mission-Mode Action on Crimes Against Women

Several girls and women have recently been involved in alleged sexual-assault cases in different parts of India.

Some cases happened in Delhi, while others occurred in Punjab, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh.

Police have registered cases, made some arrests and begun investigations.

The article says this problem is not limited to one city or State.

It also says political leaders should focus less on blaming each other and more on improving safety.

Cameras, computers and forensic tools can help police, but they cannot replace trained people and quick action.

Parks, roads, schools and sports institutions should be checked for safety.

Investigations and trials must be fair, professional and completed under the law.

The overall goal should be a continuous national effort to protect women and children.
