New Delhi (NVI): Indian capital seems to be gradually shedding its tag of ‘capital of crime against women’ as data of National Crime Records Bureau show that crimes against the weaker sex have been on a decrease since the last two year in contrast to the country’s financial capital Mumbai where these have increased.

The data was placed in Parliament by Union Minister of Women and Child Development Smriti Zubin Irani as part of a written reply.

She said in the reply that the Ministry of Women & Child Development, under its One Stop Centre Scheme, provides integrated support and assistance to women affected by violence under one roof through a range of services including medical, legal, police, psycho-social counselling and temporary shelter,

In addition, this Ministry also provides 24-hours toll-free telecom service through short code 181 to women seeking support and information through its Universalisation of Women Helpline scheme. As of now 2.27 lakh women have benefitted from OSC Scheme and 38.62 lakh women have benefited from WHL Scheme.

Further, the Government has enacted the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 (JJ Act), which applies to all matters concerning children in need of care and protection and children in conflict with law.

The Ministry is also implementing a centrally sponsored Child Protection Services (CPS) scheme (erstwhile Integrated Child Protection Scheme) for supporting children in difficult circumstances, as envisaged under the JJ Act, 2015.

Here, is the year-wise data of crime committed against women and children in Delhi and Mumbai, for the past ten years.
