The acting inspector general of Balochistan Police, Chaudhary Salman on Monday said 280 women would be recruited in the provincial police. Addressing a press conference, Mr. Chaudhary informed that women would be recruited as sub-inspectors, assistant sub-inspectors and constables to improve women’s participation in the force.
“Women ratio in Balochistan police is less”, he noted, saying that the present provincial government has approved the posts to ensure women’s participation. Other senior police officers were also present on the occasion.
The acting police chief said a women’s police station would also be established in Turbat since Quetta already had a women’s police station. Mr. Chaudhary said women’s police station would address the grievances of women.
He said officers were given special training to address the grievances of women in Balochistan. “This step would solve women’s issues”, Mr. Chaudhary said. He admitted that currently women’s participation in Balochistan was very less and this is the reason that new recruitments were being made.
