Unsafe after sunset

In the realistic analysis about the safety and security of women in different megacities after sunset (“ > Unsafe after sunset ,” Feb. 27), the finding that Mumbai is perceived to be the safest metro offers a modicum of consolation. But with plans being envisaged for it to become ‘a sleepless city’, how much longer will it be able to hold onto its enviable position is anyone’s guess. What is most worrying is that the capital city is greatly unsafe for women. One hopes that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will be able to plug the loopholes in the infrastructure. It is also the overall responsibility of the Modi government to ensure that cities in India are, by and large, safe.
