Speaking to Newslaundry, an officer (who refused to be named) from the administration said “Mahila Thana has all of Gautam Budh Nagar in its jurisdiction and yet we do not have proper facilities”. On being asked about other police stations, the officer said, “Attitude of the authorities towards Mahila Thana is, bhaad mai jaye mahila thana, chale na chale kya fark padhta hai (to hell with Mahila Thanas, how does it matter whether they function or not)?”
