CHENNAI: In an attempt to improve the functioning of All Women Police Stations in the city, Chennai Police Commissioner Mahesh Kumar Aggarwal has brought them under the direct control of the deputy commissioners of police (law and order) in 12 police districts.
Since June last year, all the 35 AWPSs were functioning under a separate wing - Crime Against Women and Children (CAWC) - headed by a single deputy commissioner. An official in the Commissionerate said that the decision was taken for effective policing and to ensure that the CAWC deputy commissioner is not overburdened.
