The Delhi government on Tuesday directed cab owners to prominently display the location of child lock aboard their vehicles in the interest of safety of women passengers.
Four stickers
To come into effect in late December, the State Transport Authority, Auto Rickshaw and Taxi Unit, said four such stickers needed to be affixed aboard such vehicles.
“In order to ensure safety of women commuters, the permit holder and the driver of the Motor-Cab [taxi] shall ensure that a sticker of the size [6”x 3”], as per the following format shall be affixed/pasted at four places,” the order read before specifying that these must be displayed near both rear door handles and the backs of both front seats.
Black and yellow
As per the directive, the stickers must be printed in black letters on a yellow background and read “Safety Precaution Specially for Women, Before Journey, Ensure Child Lock Is Disabled, The Position of Child Lock Is” before specifying the same.
