She highlighted that initiatives such as CCTV installations, Rani Haat, green e-autos, and sanitary pad vending machines are enhancing women’s safety, convenience, and dignity. “And this is just the beginning. Many more significant steps for the respect and prosperity of women are yet to come in Delhi,” she added.
