They also called for a dedicated civic mechanism to help women report complaints and access support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mayor <strong>Ravi Landge<\/strong> directed the administration to establish counselling centres for women at all 10 regional offices. He also proposed a dedicated online portal and website through which women can register complaints and seek assistance.
