The Chief Minister’s Office announced this on its official Twitter handle on Monday. The new department will be headed by Additional Director General of Police.
In the coming days, further modalities will be worked out regarding the work of the department.
At present all the cells working under police department related to safety of women including 1090 helpline will work under new department.
