The government should own moral responsibility for the series of alleged rapes that have occurred in the State in the recent past, AIDWA Visakha City Committee leaders have demanded.
The AIDWA representatives staged a protest at Jagadamba centre here on Monday against the growing crimes against women in the State.
The AIDWA representatives said that the rapes and gang-rape of women in Guntur district during the last one week have created a feeling of insecurity among women. They attributed the growing incidents of crime against women to the increase in the ganja and illicit drug trade. They alleged that the State government was not taking adequate measures to ensure safety of women, except saying that the DISHA app was brought for their safety.
