The Jammu and Kashmir Police is enrolling more women in its battalions for which dates have been declared.
According to a senior J&K Police officer, recruitment dates have been set for physical endurance test and physical standard test to be conducted in six districts. It is expected that a large number of women will enrol.
A senior officer said the recruitment process for two women's battalions has been started.
Earlier in October 2019, a recruitment drive for Special Police Officers (SPOs) had witnessed encouraging participation from female candidates for the posts.
Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Anita Sharma had apprised the media persons that the ongoing drive had attracted competition among as many as 4,072 candidates of which a big number is comprised of women from backward districts of the erstwhile state.
