Safety Tips for Girls in Delhi PGs

Safety is the number one concern for women and parents when choosing PG accommodation in Delhi. Whether you're a college student or working professional, these practical tips will help you stay safe and choose the right PG.

🔍 Choosing a Safe PG

• Visit the PG in person before booking — never rely on photos alone
• Check for CCTV cameras at entry/exit points and common areas
• Verify biometric or digital entry systems (no open-door policy)
• Meet the warden/caretaker and ask about their availability
• Ask about visitor policy — strict visitor logs are a good sign
• Check the neighborhood safety — well-lit streets, nearby shops
• Ask current residents about their experience
• Verify that the PG is registered with local authorities

🏠 Safety Inside Your PG

• Always lock your room when leaving, even for a few minutes
• Don't share your room key or access code with others
• Keep valuables (laptop, phone, jewelry) secured in a locker
• Know the locations of fire exits and fire extinguishers
• Keep your PG manager/warden's number saved and on speed dial
• Report any suspicious activity immediately to management

🚶‍♀️ Commuting Safely

• Use the women's coach in Delhi Metro (first coach from the front)
• Share live location with family/friends during late commutes
• Avoid isolated areas and poorly lit streets after dark
• Use Ola/Uber with ride sharing turned on — share trip details
• Keep emergency numbers saved: Police (100), Women Helpline (181)
• Download the Delhi Police Himmat app for emergency SOS

📱 Emergency Preparedness

• Save ICE (In Case of Emergency) contacts on your phone
• Know the nearest police station and hospital
• Keep a small emergency kit: torch, phone charger, basic medicines
• Share your PG address and contact with family
• Join your PG's WhatsApp group for quick communication
