Citing concern for women safety in the national Capital, former Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said despite the major steps taken by the Government for the safety of women, nothing has changed till now after the gruesome incident of Nirbhaya here at the poetic symposium held by a socio-cultural organisation Chetna India. Dikshit said: “More efforts and stringent laws have to be made for the safety of women in Delhi.”While appreciating the efforts by Chetna India for awareness of women safety, Dikshit presented a cash award of `2,100 and a memento to Chandan, an auto driver, for showing his exemplary honesty by returning a bag containing valuable documents, after locating the passenger’s mobile number. Recently, a member of Chetna India who was travelling in Chandan’s auto had left her bag in his auto.
However, she later got her things back, due to honesty of Chandan. She said that people should take inspiration from the Chandan’s honesty. The poetic symposium was attended by senior journalist Vartika Nanda, eminent poets like Ran Vijay Rao, Sat Pal, Sunil Jain, Sushil Malla, Ashok Agrohi who recited their poems to highlight their concern on the women issues.
