The insecurity in her voice was palpable. Yet she spoke out fearlessly.
"Drunk youngsters indulge in eve-teasing and create a ruckus on Fergusson Road at night. It makes us feel insecure," said Pallavi Tanksale (27), speaking at the first meet of the Women's Vigilance Committee at Deccan police station.
"We've been living in the vicinity since years, but of late things have changed drastically."
Same sentiments
Tanksale could well be voicing the sentiment of many a woman across the city.
"The ambience on Fergusson Road has deteriorated. It's not just inebriated men who cause a nuisance, even girls play loud blaring music and despite requests, they refuse to heed," said a resident of Shirole Park area, Sunanda Borkar (40).
During festivals, the police keep a tab on anti-social activities and on sound restriction too. "Why can't they do it throughout the year?" asked Borkar.
Exhorting women to speak up against any form any injustice being meted out to them, Police Sub-Inspector Anjali Khare said, "Even if they notice some eve-teasing, they should immediately inform us so that the culprits can be taken to task."
