Donita Jose ByExpress News ServiceHYDERABAD: Five months since the Women’s Police Station in Madhapur began to take in complaints and lodge FIRs, close to 300-350 complaints have already reached the officials, mostly seeking help in marital disputes. The concept of women’s police station was primarily meant to take off the load from the routine police stations. If the matter is still not resolved, we file an FIR,” stated M Somanandham, SHO, Women’s Police station, Cyberabad. According to officials, women see these police stations as a formal alternative to filing case. However, critics note that the approach could be flawed, and if care is not exercised, dissuade women from filing cases..
