KOCHI: To ensure the safety of the women working in IT companies, who avail pick and drop service from taxi cabs, the city police is preparing a database of all taxi companies and drivers in the city. The database is being prepared, under the supervision of Thrikkakara Assistant Commissioner, to keep a tab on the crime against women in the night. According to police sources, the project will be completed within a month and will contain details of the drivers and the vehicles used by them to pick and drop women employees at night. “We have asked for the details of the drivers who regularly pick and drop women employees from their houses. The project is undertaken as there are high chances of taxi drivers misbehaving with these women employees. The database will provide the information about the taxi drivers, the taxi number and the route and timing of the taxi. With this information, driver can easily caught in case such a complaint is reported,” police officer said.Most IT companies in operating in the city mostly rely on taxi service companies for transporting their employees in the night. “The major problem with the IT companies is that they don’t have enough vehicles for the transportation of their employees, especially the women. These companies don’t even maintain proper details of the taxis and drivers coming each day. This poses a major security threat to the women employees. The database containing details of the taxi service will help us to catch the culprit easily,” a police officer said.
