He informed that Dial-112 teams respond within an average of 6 minutes, and due to proactive policing, crimes against women have declined by over 5 percent compared to last year. Highlighting cyber safety, he said over 1,450 cyber offenders have been arrested this year with a recovery of around Rs.23.5 crore, and urged industrialists to report fraud immediately on helpline 1930.
