In a bid to provide safety and mobility support to citizens in high traffic areas on New Year's Eve, ride hailing company Ola on Monday announced it will deploy hundreds of "Safety Scouts" across Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai and Kolkata on December 31. The "Safety Scouts" comprise both male and female personnel who are specially trained by the company.
