For the first time in Delhi, eight women inspectors have been appointed as SHOs by the Delhi Police Commissioner Rakesh Asthana in several police stations of Delhi. Out of the 55 SHOs appointed, 44 are inspectors who have been given the post for the first time.
Chinmoy Biswal, the Delhi Police Public Relations Officer, said that eight women inspectors have been posted as SHOs, thus giving them the chance to play a bigger role. This is the first time that so many women have been appointed as SHO.
“It is to strengthen the Delhi Police’s efforts to raise a dedicated security battalion to handle high-risk installation security in the capital, including that of the courts. Similarly, training and human resource development will get a big boost from the posting of eight experienced inspectors with field experience as SHOs,” Biswal said.
