In a novel offer on the occasion of International Women’s Day, the police department announced discounts on select products for women who have downloaded the Disha app on their mobile phones.
The department worked out an arrangement with several retail outlets and shopping malls in the city to provide 10% discount to women on this day.
This scheme is learnt to be part of the promotional campaign taken up by the department to popularise the app that has enabled many women and girls to seek immediate police help during times of distress.
“We are displaying banners at the outlets where the scheme is available,” says Superintendent of Police (Kadapa) K.K.N. Anburajan.
The department has resolved 1,444 cases related to women’s issues and family disputes from January 1, 2021 to March 1, 2022, a sizable chunk of which is attributed to the app.
A free medical camp will also be conducted through specialist doctors on March 8 for the village secretariat staff and women police personnel.
