The Gujarat traffic police face resistance to the posters of security campaigns allegedly sponsored police brass outrage, because some of them urged women to stay at home to avoid rape, and have no statement as “you do not participate in late night parties, you can be raped or gangraped.”
The posters have been removed since then, with the Deputy Police Commissioner (Transport West), Neet Desai explained that the municipal traffic police sponsored posters on road safety, not women’s security, and posters were created without the consent of traffic police officials, PTI reported.

Police officials Gujarat said that a group called Satarc requested permission to build posters in Gujarati to support transport awareness. However, the police did not know about specific reports printed on posters that were placed on road dividers in areas such as Sola and Chandlodi.
“NGOs approached us and said they wanted to organize programs to raise awareness of transport in schools and universities and want our employees to accompany them. We were shown posters related to transport awareness.
What did posters report?
Posters with statements: “You don’t participate in late night parties, you can be raped or gangraped,” and “don’t go to dark, isolated areas, what if it is raped or gangraped?” They were inserted into road dividers in Sola and Chandlodia.
DCP said the posters were immediately removed when the problem was warned.
As residents reacted to posters
The posters left the inhabitants with one local calling of the “insensitive” content and stated that police officials should filter the content before the posters.
“How could posters with such insensitive messages that they indirectly accuse women of sexual violence to increase under the official sanction? What kind of control was before permission?” said Ghatlodia Bhumi Patel, Toi reported.
