In order to ensure complete safety for women around the clock, we will create a comprehensive women's safety platform called Suraksha that will be connected with local police stations and women's helpline num-bers. We will ensure GPS tagging of all public transport and also equip them with CCTVs and SOS buttons.

On track, but not fulfilled. The promise is to ensure GPS tagging of all public transport and equip public transport with SOS buttons. The Government of Goa Vehicle Location Tracking and Emergency Alert System page says all public transport vehicles are required to be fitted with vehicle location tracking devices and panic buttons, and the Department of Transport notification page lists the VLT and panic-button advisory. KTCL's Pilot Mazi Bus Scheme also requires VLTD devices, CCTV and panic buttons on buses. This confirms official regulatory and scheme movement for GPS/VLT and emergency buttons, but approved sources found do not prove full compliance across every public transport vehicle. Status on_track.
