In the Rajasthan districts of Salumber and Rajsamand, police initiated the ‘Shakti Suraksha Abhiyan’ (Women's Safety Campaign) to protect women and girls during Navratri celebrations. This measure included the activation of the Kalika Patrolling Unit to monitor religious gatherings, markets, and public spaces, with officers in Salumber using plain clothes to prevent harassment and officials in Rajsamand inspecting venue security and crowd management.

Following these local efforts, Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma expanded the initiative by launching 100 new ‘Kalika Patrolling Units’ in Jaipur. These units consist of female police officers patrolling public spaces, markets, and educational institutions on two-wheelers. To support the deployment, the Chief Minister announced a fixed monthly travel allowance for the participating officers.
