Eve teasers, be careful! You may smoothly land in trouble without ever knowing as Kerala Womens Commission is all set to launch an SMS alert service to trap you.
If a woman finds herself being harassed by teasers, she just needs to type the word Vanitha on her mobile and after leaving a space message it to the Commission on a number to be announced shortly.
On getting the alert, the help desk at the Women's Commission would inform the nearest police station from where the message is sent for the help of the woman in trouble.
Before doing so, a preliminary verification would be done to ascertain if the message is genuine, the Commission secretary V P Ramachandran told PTI.
"We have worked out the nitty gritty of the proposal and submitted it to the Government for clearance from the IT Department. Discussions are also on with service providers like BSNL. We expect the system to be through by this month end," he said.
The messages would be simultaneously received on the main server of the Women's Commission office and the mobile phones of the designated officers.
