Riding pillion on a two-wheeler with her ‘dupatta’ (shawl) covering her face and slanting her helmet, Puducherry Lt Governor Kiran Bedi travelled incognito to assess safety of women in the Union Territory after dusk.

In a WhatsApp message to media persons after a “night round” of the city on Friday, Bedi said, “Felt that Puducherry is safe for women even at night”.

Found Puducherry reasonably safe at night. But will be improved.
Also urge people to connect with PCR,100/ & inform their concerns.. https://twitter.com/lgov_puducherry/status/898756072172789761 

Not wearing helmet was a careful choice. Both wanted to appear vulnerable & wanted to see how we women driving a scooty at nite r looked at https://twitter.com/timesofindia/status/898877206381838338 

 She, however, said that she would suggest a few measures “which need to be taken by the police to enhance security”.
