Helpline 103 will now be for all women in Maharashtra

Mumbai: On the International Women’s Day this year, the state home department has a gift for the fair sex across the state. The helpline 103 for women, senior citizens and children, which completed two years last month, will now be functional across Maharashtra by April this year.
Additional chief secretary (home) Chandra Iyengar said home minister RR Patil had agreed to start the helpline across the state.
“My request to police is that they should seriously follow up the cases registered by women through this helpline and ensure that the complainants do not have to dial it again for the same issue,” Iyengar said.
