The Delhi government took initiative to deploy Bus Marshalls who are none but Police Home guards to look after women safety in the capital city, New Delhi. It was on June 24th, 2015 this was started and 2000 Bus Marshalls were deployed immediately.

But for every fortnight another 500 were deployed since then to meet the required number to ensure the safety of women in buses and bus stands.

These Bus Marshalls not only take care of women’s safety but also see that the buses stop at bus stops without any problem to the citizens.
