In response to a series of alarming gang rapes that have raised significant safety concerns, the government of Karnataka has issued new guidelines aimed specifically at homestay owners. These measures are designed to enhance the security and well-being of guests and to ensure that such tragic incidents do not occur in the future. The guidelines emphasize the importance of thorough background checks for staff, mandatory safety protocols, and the establishment of clear emergency procedures. Homestay owners are urged to implement adequate lighting, surveillance systems, and to actively participate in local safety initiatives. Additionally, the guidelines call for proper training for staff on how to handle emergencies and how to create a safe environment for visitors. The government hopes that by enforcing these measures, they can restore trust in the hospitality sector and promote a safer experience for both tourists and locals alike. This initiative reflects a larger commitment to address issues of women’s safety and to protect individuals from potential harm while traveling.
