SAFETY SCORE: 3.9/5

SafetiPin is a map-based mobile phone and online application, which works to make communities and cities safer by providing safety-related information collected by users and by trained auditors. At the core of the app is the Women’s Safety Audit. A Women’s Safety Audit (WSA) is a participatory tool for collecting and assessing information about perceptions of urban safety in public spaces. The audit is based on nine parameters – Lighting, Openness, Visibility, Crowd, Security, Walk path, Availability of Public Transport, Gender Diversity, and Feeling.

The audits were conducted by an architect from NDMC along with Safetipin team. The assessment was done post sunset till 9pm.

Janpath is an underground metro station of Delhi Metro’s violet line. Located in one of the busiest commercial areas of the city, it is surrounded by various offices, hotels, shops, and restaurants.

An area of approximately 500m radius around the metro station has been studied and 57 audit pins have been generated. The area outside the metro entry/exit and the bus stop were studied. The commercial area around the metro station was studied in detail. 

Safety Audits indicate that the area around the metro station is safe. However, at few spots on Sansad Marg, the safety score is low. The
parameter of Lighting and Walkpath has been rated Above Average and Good respectively. Owing to the availability of metro station, and bus stops at a regular distance, the parameter of Public Transport in this area has been rated Good. With regular police patrolling in the area, the parameter of Security has been rated Average.
