Mumbai, April 3: Kerala has always been on top for ‘women empowerment’ initiatives…but this time it’s Mumbai! Adding a golden feather on the page of ‘women empowerment’, Mumbai became India’s 1st city to have as many as eight women police station in-charge.
Way to go Mumbai! Mumbai Police is quite enthusiastic about these ladies heading their respective police stations and they expect that soon the number of stations led by women officers will be more.
Taking to Twitter, Mumbai Police wrote, "Eight women police station in-charges a first in any city in the country, protecting the good and destroying the evil, with a smile each day."
While in the present scenario when cases of violence against women are on the rise, Mumbai Police has ensured that women are the helm guarding the city.
The names of the eight women police station in-charges are—
Alka Mandave (Airport Police Station),
Rashmi Jadhav (Cuffe Parade Police Station),
Mrudula Lad (Sion Police Station),
Lata Shirsat (Sahar Police Station),
Jyotsna Rasam (Vanrai Police Station),
Rohini Kale (Pantnagar Police Station),
Vidhyalaxmi Hiremath (Aarey Police Station) and
Kalpana Gadekar (BKC Police Station).
Rashmi Jadhav, (in charge of Cuffe Parade Police Station) said that being female in charge of a police station, will help women and it will be more comfortable for girls and women to come and report crimes against them.
Women empowerment, feminism are the concepts which are needed badly to the nations like India. The land where ‘woman’ is worshipped in the form of Durga, Lakshmi and on the other side the ‘woman’ is raped and thrown like thrash. While woman have always played a role of savior, guard – be of a family or a daughter or society or nation. Let us take a bow to these 8 women in-charges who lead their lives to sit on that throne to safeguard us and society. Good Luck!
