The Delhi Police have officially deployed a specialized all-women unit known as the 'Pink Force' to bolster security operations. This initiative is accompanied by the increased use of body-worn cameras by personnel on the ground. According to official statements from the Delhi Police, these measures were implemented in direct response to incidents that occurred during recent protests organized by the Opposition alliance.

Police officials have characterized the move as a necessary step to ensure the safety of their officers, citing reports of alleged misbehaviour and physical assaults directed at female personnel during the demonstrations. While the police have framed the deployment as a protective measure for their staff, the context of the decision is rooted in the ongoing friction between law enforcement and political protesters in the capital. The use of body cameras is intended to provide greater transparency and accountability during future confrontations, though the specific protocols for how this footage will be managed or released have not been detailed in current reports. The introduction of the 'Pink Force' specifically aims to manage interactions in sensitive areas, though critics of such deployments often debate whether these units are effectively utilized for public safety or if they serve primarily as a response to political pressure.
