Union Home Minister presided over the induction ceremony of the India’s first ever All-Women SWAT team (of Delhi Police).
About:
Delhi Police has raised an All-Women Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team by inducting 40 women Commandos for Anti-Terrorism duty under the Special Cell.
All the women officers in the India's first all-female commando team are from India's northeast.
This team has been trained by National Security Guard (NSG).
They will work alongside about five all-male commando teams in Delhi and will be deployed during the Independence Day celebrations of 2018.
It is another move towards breaking gender stereotypes. According to official data, only around 7% of all police officials are women, well below a government target of 33%.
