Dehradun: A women commando force became part of the Uttarakhand police on Wednesday. 

Uttarakhand is the fourth state in the country to have such a force, Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat said at a function held at the police lines here on the occasion.

There are 22 well-trained women commandos in the force who can play a big role in training young girls in self-defense techniques and physical agility, he said.

Rawat also honoured trainers Shifu Shaurya Bhardwaj and Rubina Korky for imparting training to the women commandos.

DGP Ashok Kumar said that at a time when terrorist outfits are making use of women operatives, an all-women commando force can be very effective in counter-terrorist operations.

A Smart Cheeta Police consisting of both men and women personnel was also launched on the occasion.
