Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understand the purpose of such squads. Police forces in India often create special squads to address specific issues. Squads for women's safety are designed to prevent harassment and crime against women in public areas like markets, bus stops, and near schools and colleges.

Step 2: Identify the specific initiative and its location. The 'Operation Shishtachar' was launched by the Delhi Police. The word 'Shishtachar' means 'etiquette' or 'good conduct'.

Step 3: Know how the squad operates. Under this operation, police teams, including both male and female officers in plain clothes, are deployed at public places. Their job is to discreetly monitor for any signs of harassment or "eve-teasing" and take immediate action against offenders.
