Meanwhile, meteropolitan cities like Hyderabad and Ahmedabad registered two such cases of attempted attacks in 2022.
From 713 reported cases during 2020 — the pandemic year — it dropped to 513 in 2021 and to 403 in 2022, according to the latest NCRB report
The 2022 NCRB data named Kolkata India's safest city, but NCW Chief Rekha Sharma disputes this, alleging West Bengal's underreporting due to political pressure from the ruling TMC. She emphasizes that increased FIRs signal awareness, though the police's lack of cooperation distorts statistics. Sharma advocates for societal change, highlighting rising domestic violence cases and the need for education on gender equality. Criticizing West Bengal's government, she praises Uttar Pradesh's efforts in aiding women and urges victims to speak out and seek support.
Delhi accounted for 50.9 per cent of railway accidents among 53 megacities in 2022, according to NCRB data.
“The latest NCRB data for the year 2022 has also revealed that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's zero-tolerance policy against crime and criminals in the state, has led to a significant drop in the overall crime rate in the state,” said a government spokesperson.
