Chandigarh, December 1
Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, in a statement released on Monday, said his government will honour the two sisters who took on three alleged molesters in a moving bus.

He said the girls will be honoured and would get cash awards on Republic Day for their bravery.

“Both the girls had shown indomitable courage and bravery by opposing the misdemeanour of three youth who tried to "molest" them in a moving bus of Haryana Roadways at Rohtak, Khattar said in his statement.

He also said that effective steps will be taken to ensure the security of women passengers.

The state government has asked the Director General of Police (DGP) and the state transport department to take steps for ensuring safety and security of passengers, especially women travelling in the Haryana Roadways buses.

The entire incident was recorded by a passenger on mobile phone, and went viral both on television and social media. It showed the two girls using their hands and belts to thrash the eve-teasers on bus plying in Rohtak district, who appeared to be taken by surprise.

All the three youths — Kuldeep, Mohit and Deepak — were later arrested. — ANI
