West Bengal Minister Agnimitra Paul said that the state government will ensure that women can move anywhere without fear at any time and the police should take action on the complaints lodged by them on priority.
After taking oath in the Assembly, Paul told reporters on Wednesday that CCTV surveillance will soon be started in all municipal bodies to ensure transparency and curb corruption.
In an apparent reference to former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s alleged comments after the Durgapur Medical College rape case, she said, “Contrary to suggestions made by anyone (the previous government), every woman should have the right to walk out at any time.” They cannot be stopped from going anywhere as per their wish. If women are asked why they are out after 8 pm, it is unfortunate.
The Women and Child Development Minister said, “Women should have the freedom to go wherever they want, whenever they want. This government will ensure this. Women can file ‘zero FIR’ and their complaint should be accepted on priority basis and action should be taken on it.” He also said that elections for Howrah and Durgapur municipal corporations will be held soon.

Claiming that illegal ‘toll plazas’ would not be allowed, Paul alleged that “Trinamool Congress workers” had set up such ‘toll points’ by erecting bamboo barriers, which have now been removed.
“Activities like illegal sand extraction from river banks and illegal coal mining in coal producing areas will also be stopped. Necessary instructions have been issued and steps have been taken to stop such activities,” he said.
