'Daughters Working With Full Devotion': MP CM Chouhan Says 30% Female Staff Mandatory In State Police

In a bid to boost female staff in the state police, Madhya Pradesh CM has announced the recruitment of women making 30 per cent of the total staff mandatory in the department.

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Friday said that he is making it mandatory for the state police to recruit female staff making at least 30 per cent of the total staff. He said that without doing justice to half of the population, the country and the state cannot move forward. He added that daughters of the country are working in police departments with full devotion and proving themselves by fulfilling their responsibilities.

"Without doing justice to half the population, neither the country can move forward nor the state can move forward. That's why I decided that the recruitment of 30% daughters in the police department will be mandatory. Today the daughters working in the police department are proving themselves by fulfilling their responsibilities with full devotion," the CM said.

Chouhan handed over 250 scooters to women police personnel across the state to empower them for effective control over crimes related to women in the state. CM Chouhan flagged off the two-wheelers rally of the women police personnel from Motilal Nehru Stadium in the state capital Bhopal.

On the occasion, CM Chouhan said, “Today, we have given 250 two-wheelers to the police and its purpose is to keep women safe in the state. The women police personnel will perform patrolling with the help of it. They will also watch criminals in the field and also protect the self-respect of the women in the state,” as quoted by ANI. “I congratulate state Home Minister Narottam Mishra and the entire team for taking a step for the safety of women in the state,” he added.

"Women’s safety is most important for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government and women's empowerment is the main mission. Many schemes are initiated by the state government for women empowerment, be it Ladli Lakshmi Yojana, Kanya Vivah Yojana, Ladli Bahna Yojana, 50 per cent reservation in local body elections, Sambal Yojana and others," CM Chouhan further said, as quoted by ANI. He also said that Madhya Pradesh is the first state which made a law to award capital punishment to rape convicts.

Also, Madhya Pradesh is the first state to bulldoze the houses of criminals and made a provision for severe punishment for crimes against women.
