Chittoor police have launched six new Shakthi teams to address crimes against women, including domestic violence and harassment. Each team will consist of seven officers, including two women, and will be led by an officer of SI or ASI rank. Three teams will operate in the Chittoor sub-division, with one team each in Nagari, Palamaner, and Kuppam. The teams will patrol public areas and respond to distress calls through the Shakthi mobile app and emergency numbers. The initiative aims to enhance safety for women and promote awareness through collaboration with educational institutions and community groups. The teams will also encourage the download of the Shakthi app for quicker emergency responses.
