Check out Pink Patrol, the new security app for women in Bengaluru

51 patrol cars will be added to the existing fleet of 221 vehicles, taking the total to 272 vehicles

In view of his government's priority of making Bengaluru streets safe for women, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday unveiled Pink Hoysala patrol fleet vehicles, and Suraksha mobile phone panic applications, to attend to emergency alerts sent to the control room. 

While Siddaramaiah flagged off Pink Hoysala on Monday, Home Minister G Parameshwara will launch the Suraksha mobile app.

The department has acquired 51 of these vehicles after the mass molestation incident in Bengaluru on the New Year’s Eve and recent incidents of crimes against women in several areas of the information technology hub.
