Bahraich Police launches Phase 2 of Mission Shakti campaign for women's safety and empowerment

The Bahraich Police has intensified efforts under Phase 2 of the Mission Shakti 5.0 campaign to create awareness among women and girls about safety, empowerment, and self-reliance schemes across the district. Under the direction of Superintendent of Police Vishwajeet Srivastava, Mission Shakti teams comprising women police personnel visited key markets, towns, intersections, religious sites, and other prominent locations to educate women about their rights, security measures, and facilities available under the initiative.

The awareness programs focused on informing women about various government welfare schemes designed for their protection and empowerment. These included the Mukhyamantri Kanya Sumangala Yojana, Destitute Women Pension Scheme, Uttar Pradesh State Rural Livelihood Mission, National Nutrition Scheme, Mukhyamantri Samuhik Vivah Yojana, Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao, Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, PM Swanidhi Yojana, PM Samman Nidhi Yojana, One Stop Centre, Ayushman Yojana, Surakshit Matritva Aashwasan Suman Yojana, Mahila Shakti Kendra Yojana, and Mukhyamantri Abhyudaya Yojana.

Women police personnel distributed pamphlets detailing critical helpline numbers to ensure women can access immediate assistance when needed. The helplines highlighted included Women Power Line 1090, Police Emergency Service 112 with emergency call and panic button mobile demonstrations, Chief Minister Helpline 1076, Health Service Helpline 102, Ambulance Service 108, Women Helpline 181, and Cyber Crime Helpline 1930.

The campaign underscores the district administration's commitment to ensuring the safety and empowerment of women and girls in Bahraich. By reaching out directly to communities through police teams deployed across all police stations in the district, Mission Shakti 5.0 aims to create a comprehensive support network that makes women aware of both government welfare programs and emergency response mechanisms available to them.
