Unsafe Navi Mumbai

The satellite city Navi Mumbai is becoming unsafe for women.  Today women don’t feel secure while travelling by bus, auto, train and taxi.  Women commuters travelling alone in a cab during odd hours run the risk of molestation and rape in the commercial capital.  There is no one stop such acts by miscreants and it is time for women to have their own ways of preparing for the worst while commuting within the city. It is indeed a lesson for all the people travelling alone through public transport system. Teenaged girls face more such fierce attacks in the guise of making friendship and attacked all of a sudden. In the bizarre case a 17 year old was molested by a cabbie in SoBo only the student’s presence of mind saved her from day light attack on her. In bus we come across the co-passengers trying to touch and molest the women and escape without punishment. Train journey is more horrible as the miscreants travel in the compartments reserved for women and look for an opportune moment to pounce on them. This is indeed very bad as we could not give proper protection to women using public transport system in our country. After boarding a taxi, women should forward the registration number of the vehicle to parents by informing the cab driver.
