The DGP said that the stakeholders should extend their help through expertise, guidance and knowledge to the victims. The safety cell would be a platform to share their suffering and help them with all possible legal guidance.

He also said that the proposed law amendments would help the victims in fighting the legal battle against harassment from NRI spouse/relatives. The stakeholders should work for long term goals of achieving. He said the sensitisation of the women should be at the grassroots-level to encounter problems of fake NRI marriages.
