Anti Romeo Squads: Indiscriminate Crackdown on Young Men, for Women’s Safety? 2

One of the election manifesto promises expressly delivered by the Yogi Adityanath government is the setting up of special “Anti-Romeo” squads aimed at checking eve-teasing and harassment of women in public places and especially around schools and colleges. The police were instructed to take action against “Romeos” — which loosely means miscreant elements that casually harass women and girls. “The ideal is to reclaim public spaces and make them safe for women,” said UP DGP Javeed Ahmed, who was told by CM Yogi Adityanath on Monday to come up with a plan to improve law and order. Surely, it is high time law and order reacts to the lack of safety for women in public places and this should be a welcome move.
