He also advised to explore facilitating online registration of all non-heinous crimes as far as possible. This would not only facilitate speedy registration but also make it easier for Delhi Police to examine and analyze various facets of these crimes, Baijal suggested.

He asked the Transport Department to explore the possibility of having Himmat Plus App of Delhi Police as a mandatory licensing condition of TSR / Taxi as this would bring in much-needed synergy in the efforts to promote women safety.
