Following the reported gang rape of a 17-year-old girl at knifepoint in Delhi’s Aastha Kunj Park, authorities conducted a security audit of the city's green spaces. The audit identified 190 parks as high-risk areas, citing concerns regarding public safety and the potential for criminal activity.

One of the primary findings of the audit is the lack of adequate surveillance infrastructure. Despite the high-risk designation, only 16 of these 190 parks are currently monitored by CCTV cameras. This disparity has raised questions about the effectiveness of current security measures in public recreational areas. The incident at Aastha Kunj Park, which prompted the review, involved three men accused of assaulting the teenager. The audit serves as a formal acknowledgment of the vulnerabilities present in these spaces, though specific timelines for installing additional security equipment or increasing police patrols have not been finalized. The findings underscore a broader debate regarding urban planning and the necessity of integrating safety features into public infrastructure to protect residents.
