The Safe Cities Authority has initiated the installation of pink emergency buttons in schools and colleges across Lahore to provide female students with immediate access to police assistance during emergencies.

 

 

A spokesperson for the authority indicated that this system has currently been deployed in 39 institutions for women in the city. This initiative is part of a larger strategy that aims to install pink buttons in 450 women's colleges across Punjab in various stages.

 

 

The spokesperson clarified that the pink button connects directly to the Safe Cities control room. When activated, it generates an alert to the system, prompting police officers to respond to the incident without delay. Officials stated that this measure is intended to provide students with direct and quick access to assistance while on campus.

 

 

The authority mentioned that similar technology is already operational at various locations in the province. Currently, pink button devices are installed in 101 places across Punjab, with 122 of those situated in Lahore alone. These locations include public areas and facilities where women may need prompt access to law enforcement services.

 

 

The goal is to broaden the system’s reach to include more institutions and ensure that female students in various districts of Punjab have the same safety resources available.

 

 

The Safe Cities Authority intends to install the system across the province in the coming months, with each phase targeting additional colleges and universities.
