India's First Female SWAT Team

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%.
