Delhi Government will launch a round-the-clock helpline '181' on Monday for offering help to women in distress that will operate from the Chief Minister's office .

Amid nationwide uproar over brutal gang-rape of a 23-year-old, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit last week had announced setting up of the helpline.

"We will launch the helpline on Monday," Dikshit said Friday.

The helpline will operate from the Chief Minister's office in Delhi Secretariat and it will be connected with all the 185 police stations across the city.
