LUCKNOW: In a bid to improve women's safety across Uttar Pradesh, the Uttar Pradesh State Women's Commission has put forth a series of bold proposals aimed at enhancing security for women in public and commercial spaces.

Among these recommendations are restrictions on male tailors taking women's measurements, barring male trainers from women's gyms and yoga classes, and requiring female security personnel on school buses.

The guidelines also advocate for female staff in women's clothing stores, along with surveillance measures in coaching centers and arts establishments.

The recommendations were discussed during an October 28 meeting in Lucknow, where commission members debated a range of approaches to tackle persistent safety concerns for women.

Maneesha Ahlawat, a commission member, explained that while these discussions are still in the preliminary stages, the commission intends to pursue official approval for implementation.
