Minister for Health and Social Justice K.K. Shylaja has said that the government has taken steps to open one-day homes to ensure the safety of women who travel alone. The first such home will be opened at the KSRTC terminal at Thampanoor.
The homes are being planned in such a way that women who reach the capital for various purposes can stay there for 2-3 days at affordable rates. The government is also considering opening of ‘she lodges’ at district headquarters.
