Authorities monitoring women’s safety during solo travel

I was traveling from Mumbai to Delhi on ndls Rajdhani in 2AC. When the train reached Vadodara a female police officer came to my seat, confirmed that I am, “XYZ,” and traveling alone, and whether I was okay, feeling safe or had any problem to report. She then moved on to check on another woman in the coach who was also traveling solo. While it wasn’t my first time traveling alone, it was the first time a police officer came to ensure everything was alright. I think it’s a great initiative.
