Pink Booths are police assistance booths that are meant for the sole purpose of addressing any and all complaints made by women. It is possible to lodge a complaint over here without having to go to the police station. Pink Booths have given a much-needed sense of sound security to a vulnerable section of society. Many hawkers and shoppers have expressed that they feel safer due to the presence of these booths.

If you’re a woman, you need not think twice before approaching these booths. They recognise that women have an extremely strong instinct when it comes to their safety, and thus even complaints that might be considered ‘trivial’ to others are addressed with the utmost care here. They promise justice by providing instantaneous relief whenever possible and taking swift actions without wasting any time. 

3. Fully Equipped By Women Staff

Sometimes the empathy between two women is what it takes for justice, and Pink Booths understand that. To ensure an unhesitant and comfortable environment for all those women entering these booths, they are fully equipped with female staff. On any given day you should find 3 women police officers working in the booths from 12  to 10 PM. Hence, you’ll be able to communicate your issues free from any constraints.
