|June 16, 2024
SAFETY concerns in resettlement sites in the city, including Perumbakkam, continue to make the lives of thousands of women and children difficult.
Advocate commissioner K Elango who was appointed by the Madras High Court to file a fresh report on resettlement sites in the city, said in his interim report on June 11 that women's safety was a concern in Perumbakkam with several women complaining of being harassed frequently.
The report also said violence against women has increased in the last seven years.
Elango had filed the first report on problems in resettlement sites in 2018 following which a police station was set up at Perumbakkam. However, the station lacked adequate personnel, the interim report said.
