The government has created the Disha app to ensure women's safety. It's essentially an app that allows women to notify the nearest police station in the event of an emergency. The government has set goals for volunteers and police units in terms of number of installations. So that large promises about women's safety can be made. On google Play, the app has 5.1 million downloads. This is a remarkable accomplishment for a government app that typically has no traction.
However, because of the aims, the app is taken seriously by police and volunteers. Everything was fine till then, but cops have been installing the app on men to increase the number of instals. In andhra pradesh, police checks are a common occurrence. Unless they install the Disha app, defaulters and no defaulters will not be able to go. Males are being hounded to install the app, according to postings on social media. This is the government's commitment.
