A special ladies frisking enclosure was inaugurated at a Delhi Metro station here on Tuesday.
The frisking enclosure was inaugurated by Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) Director General Arvind Ranjan at the Pragati Maidan Metro station.
"The new type of frisking enclosure is a first of its kind for ladies in the entire Delhi Metro network which is designed to enable two women to be frisked at the same time and thus, paving the way for faster checking and movement of female passengers without waiting in queues, especially during peak hours," a statement from the Delhi Metro said.
"More such type of frisking enclosures for women are planned to be installed at some of the major Metro stations like Rajiv Chowk, Kashmere Gate, Karol Bagh, Central Secretariat etc.," added the statement.
