Coimbatore: The number of cases related to violence against women registered in the Tamil Nadu is decreasing when compared to other states, said the National Commission for Women (NCW) member Rekha Sharma.
Addressing reporters at Coimbatore collectorate, she said “NCW has been creating awareness among women about their rights in society in urban and rural areas. Due to the continuous awareness activities, many women come forward and file their complaints with the police and the Commission. Though the number of cases of violence against women increased in Delhi, Bihar, UP Haryana, the number of such cases are decreasing in Tamil Nadu, Gujarat and Maharashtra. The data available with the NCW reveals that such cases are also increasing at the national level.”

Remaining cases will be solved within two weeks. We have not received any complaint yet regarding the latest ‘honor killing’ from TN, while the number of such cases is increasing in Haryana,” she said.
