TEN CRITICAL QUESTIONS ON CURRENT GEOPLOITICAL AND NATIONAL ISSUES – 188
1. Why should women’s safety be treated as a constitutional-governance issue rather than merely a policing issue?
Answer: Women’s safety is connected with the right to life and dignity under Article 21. The supplied summary stresses that women should be able to use public spaces without fear and that safety cannot be achieved by restricting their mobility. Therefore, the solution requires more than punishment after a crime. It needs preventive policing, safe public transport, lighting, functional CCTV, responsive investigation and better urban design. The deeper issue is state capacity and equality in everyday life. A safe city is one where women enjoy freedom of movement, not one where their freedom is restricted in the name of protection.
2. Should UPI remain free even if banks and payment companies incur significant costs?
