To ensure and improve women safety in Puducherry, Lieutenant Governor Kiran Bedi went ‘incognito’ and conducted a midnight patrol of the union territory.
Covering her face with a dupatta, Bedi rode pillion on a two-wheeler around the city.
She seemed reasonably satisfied with the situation.
“Felt that Puducherry is safe for women even at night,” Bedi tweeted. She added that she had identified a few key areas for improvement, and promised that she would take it up with the police authorities.

She responded to this, saying: “Not wearing helmet was a careful choice. Both wanted to appear vulnerable & wanted to see how we women driving a scooty at nite r looked at.”
Well, what can we say, we’re glad she’s going out of her way to make the place safer for women!
