In a move aimed at making police stations more women-friendly, the Kochi City Police on Monday inaugurated a scheme under which sanitary napkin vending machines will be set up at 26 stations within its limits. Deputy Commissioner (Law and Order and Traffic) Aishwarya Dongre inaugurated the scheme at the Ernakulam Town police station. During the event held in compliance with COVID-19 protocol, the station house officers of the Women’s Cell, women’s police station, Ernakulam Town, and Central and Hill Palace police stations received the units from Ms. Dongre.With the clock ticking down to the Lok Sabha election counting day on Tuesday, opposing fronts are perceptibly edgy and poised to continue the rancorous skirmishing that marked the campaign season in Kerala. The United Democratic Front, led by the Congress, is seemingly basking in the “interim victory” granted by various exit polls. The UDF discerns that its poll strategy of turning the polls foremostly into a damning referendum on the Left Democratic Front government’s perceived failures rather than BJP’s “divisive politics” at the national level stood a fighting chance of paying off.
