Delhi Authorities Restrict Park Access Following Reported Gang-Rape of Minor
Following the alleged gang-rape of a 17-year-old girl in a Delhi park, local authorities have implemented new restrictions on public access to parks after sunset. The security measures were introduced by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to address safety concerns at the site of the incident.
The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has introduced new restrictions on public access to parks following a violent crime reported earlier this week. The policy change comes in the immediate aftermath of an incident where a 17-year-old girl was allegedly gang-raped by three men at Astha Kunj, a park located near the Kalkaji Mandir area.
While the DDA has not released a comprehensive list of all affected locations, the move is intended to enhance security and prevent similar incidents in public spaces under their jurisdiction. The incident has reignited local discussions regarding the safety of women and minors in Delhi’s public parks, particularly during evening hours. Law enforcement officials have confirmed that an investigation into the assault is ongoing, though specific details regarding the suspects' current status or the exact timeline for the new security enforcement remain limited. The decision to restrict access after sunset represents a reactive measure to the public outcry surrounding the safety of the city's green spaces.
