The Chittoor police are upbeat over the “success” of ‘Gadapa Gadapaku Mahila Police’ (GGMP) programme, which has lead to a sharp decline in instances of violence against women.
The programme was launched in Chittoor by DIG (Anantapur Range) A.N. Ammireddy on June 9.
Speaking to The Hindu, Superintendent of Police Y. Rishant Reddy said that the unique programme was initially launched in 35 wards under 35 police station limits, involving a workforce of 512 Mahila Police in coordination with the village and ward volunteers.
