33 percent quota for women in Delhi, UT polices

New York, Mar 20 (IBNS) The Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday gave its approval for making reservation of 33 percent for women, horizontally and in each category (SC/ST/OBC and others) in direct recruitment in non-gazetted posts from Constables to sub-inspector in the police forces of all Union Territories, including Delhi Police.

The Cabinet also approved that suitable enabling provisions in the Recruitment Rules should be made accordingly by all UTs police forces including Delhi Police.

The reservation will be available to women against all such vacancies existing on the date of issue of the order after Cabinet approval and vacancies arising thereafter.

This decision will help in augmenting the representation of the women in the police forces of all UTs and Delhi Police so as to make the police more gender sensitive.

It will also instill confidence among women to enable them to approach the police without hesitation for seeking protection and assistance as and when required.
