जानकारी होनी चाहिए कि किस समस्या पर कौन से हेल्पलाइन नम्बर पर सहायता मांगी जानी है। इसके दृष्टिगत सभी पंचायतों और नगर निकायों में हेल्पलाइन नम्बरों का व्यापक प्रचार-प्रसार सुनिश्चित कराया जाए: मुख्यमंत्री श्री @myogiadityanath जी

The CM Office further stated that women and children should be made aware of helpline numbers like ‘1090’, ‘181’, ‘1076’ and ‘112’.
उक्त स्थानों पर सीसीटीवी कैमरा भी लगाया जाएगा। लगभग 350 तहसीलों में भी इसकी व्यवस्था की जा रही है। इससे महिलाएं अपनी समस्याएं निःसंकोच रख सकेंगी और समयबद्ध कार्यवाही भी की जा सकेगी: मुख्यमंत्री श्री @myogiadityanath जी

The government further said that each one of 1,535 thanas will have women’s help desk which will be handled by a woman constable. These police stations will also be equipped with restrooms for women and facility of drinking water will be made available. They will also be equipped with CCTV cameras. Same arrangements will also be made at about 350 tehsils.
Further, Yogi Adityanath directed that facility should be made that helpline numbers are also available in Bhojpuri and Bundelkhandi dialects as women might be more comfortable in communicating in regional dialects.
