CRPF will soon deploy about 300 women commandos for undertaking anti-Naxal operations in select Left-wing Extremism-affected states, according to CRPF Director General Prakash Mishra.
Officials said, there are specific reasons and operational benefits for deploying women combatants in Left Wing Extreme areas.
While they can interact with the local women folk which not only helps in gathering good intelligence, it also helps in bringing forces closer to the locals and villagers. Recently, Indo-Tibetan Border Police had also announced that it will post its women personnel in full combat role at its units along the Sino-Indian border.
