2,014 Vacancies For Women Police
In a bid to increase the number of female candidates, the Jammu and Kashmir administration has approved the formation of two women police battalions.
The State Administrative Council (SAC) accorded sanction to the raising of two women battalions of the Jammu and Kashmir Police along with creation of 2,014 posts of various ranks for these battalions.
“Due to inadequate representation and less availability of women police personnel at various levels and to address the issues of gender-based violence faced by women, the state government had taken up the issue of raising of women police battalions with the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA),” said an official spokesperson.
He reiterated that the move is aimed at equipping the Jammu and Kashmir Police to effectively deal with crimes against the women.
The 2,014 posts created for the women police battalions include two posts of Commandant, six posts of Deputy Commandant, 14 posts of Deputy Superintendent, 14 posts of Inspector, 4 posts of Inspector Ministerial and telecommunication (M/Tel), 46 posts of Sub-Inspector, 4 posts of Sub-Inspector (M/Tel), 46 posts of Assistant Sub-Inspector, 10 posts of Assistant Sub-Inspector (M), 320 posts of Head Constable, 8 posts of Constable (Tel), 1402 posts of Constables (Tel), 138 posts of Follower, 2 posts of Medical Officer, 4 posts of Medical Assistant and 2 posts of Nursing Assistant.
