West Bengal’s governor, C.V. Ananda Bose, said on Wednesday that the state is no longer safe for women.

Bose made the remarks during a chamber‑of‑commerce event in Kolkata, after the state’s growing list of sexual‑crime cases, including a recent rape of a second‑year Dalit medical student at a private college in Durgapur, raised concerns. He said the incident is part of a wider pattern and that “West Bengal is not safe for women and girls now.”

The governor added that a society’s true strength comes from how safe its women feel. If safety is the measure, Bose said women in West Bengal live in fear. He also blamed the ruling Trinamool Congress government for what he described as repeated sexual‑crime events. “This is just the tip of the iceberg,” he said. “A deeper problem is the incompetence of those in charge.”

Bose criticized the state police for not enforcing laws adequately. He called the system a “soft state,” where legal provisions are applied poorly. The governor said the police must maintain law and order and enforce the law strictly. “Law enforcement agencies are responsible for violence or lawlessness in the state,” he told the audience.

The governor’s comments come as West Bengal deals with a spike in sexual‑crime reports and calls for tighter policing and stronger protection for women across the state.
