The CPRF (Central Reserve Police Force) is the largest of India’s Central Armed Police Forces. The force, for the first time, has deployed a team of women commandos in anti-Naxal operations in Jharkhand.
Interesting, isn’t it? There are 135 women in total who belong to the 232 battalion’s Delta company.
Sanjay A Lathkar, CRPF IG of Jharkhand, said, “On 17 October, a company of woman commandos was for the first time inducted in CRPF to counter Naxal insurgency in Jharkhand. They have started carrying out anti-Naxal operations”.
Neeraj Pandey, CRPF Commandment of 133 battalions, said, “The women are brave and currently undertaking the first-hand experience of anti-Naxal operation in forests outside Ranchi. They have been provided extensive training in CRPF academies especially for countering Naxals. Since the induction of women commandos, the strength of our operation in Naxal-infested areas has increased two-fold,” Pandey said.
The women have been trained just the way men are trained, and no discrimination has been done during their training sessions.
“It was felt that to tackle women Naxals; there should be women commandos who must be equally capable of neutralizing Naxals. The women commandos are well prepared and well groomed to face any situation and hardships. There is no difference between a man or a woman commando,” Prasad said.
