Ghaziabad Women Join Mission Shakti 6.0 Scooter Rally

Ghaziabad: Women police personnel, homemakers, working women and students joined a scooter rally that started from Police Lines under the Mission Shakti 6.0 campaign. Participants travelled on scooters, motorcycles and Bullet bikes, carrying messages about women’s safety, confidence and mutual support. The event brought civilian women and police personnel together in the same procession.

Police Commissioner J. Ravindra Goud flagged off the rally. Additional Police Commissioners Rajkaran Nayyar and Keshav Choudhary were present, along with officers of DCP and ACP rank. The flag-off marked the start of a programme intended to encourage awareness of women’s safety and closer communication between women and the police.

Participants carried placards with messages including “घूंघट नहीं हौसले चाहिए मैडम”, “Ride for Awareness” and “Women Support Women”. The Hindi slogan called for confidence rather than a veil. The posters emphasised awareness and solidarity among women. Pink and white balloons were also attached to some of the two-wheelers taking part in the rally.

ACP Priyashree Pal said the purpose was to help women feel secure and build their confidence. She also identified reducing fear and hesitation about approaching the police as an aim of the programme. Her explanation focused on encouraging women to speak openly to officers rather than holding back because they felt apprehensive.

According to the ACP, this edition included civilian women and students alongside police personnel. Their participation extended the event beyond uniformed riders to women from different backgrounds. Students and other young women joined homemakers and working women, with the emphasis on creating opportunities for more open communication between the police and the community.

The procession placed women police officers and civilian participants together on two-wheelers, with awareness messages displayed along the way. Women’s safety, mutual support and communication without hesitation remained the central themes of the programme. Ghaziabad Police also confirmed the scooter rally in an official public post identifying it as an event under Mission Shakti 6.0.
