Women's representation in Indian police falls short of 33% target: Home Ministry report

IndiaTimes Tuesday, 5 December 2023
The percentage of women in the police force in India has increased from 5.87% in 2013 to 11.75% in 2022, but it is still far below the target of 33% set by the Union home ministry. As of January 2022, there are over 2.4 lakh women police personnel, with the majority serving as constables. The states with the highest number of women police personnel are Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Assam, Gujarat, Delhi, and Rajasthan. The home ministry has issued advisories to increase the representation of women in the police force and create more women police stations.

AFSPA Reimposed in Manipur’s 6 Police Stations: Insurgency Intensifies & Violence Surges in Villages

The Indian government has reimposed the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) in six police station areas of Manipur, as the state's security situation deteriorates. Citing a "volatile" environment and increasing insurgent activity, the Ministry of Home Affairs has extended AFSPA to regions severely affected by ethnic violence. Despite the deployment of additional paramilitary forces, violence continues to spiral, with clashes between militants and security forces claiming hundreds of lives over the past 18 months. In this video, we explore the implications of this decision, the ongoing unrest, and whether AFSPA can restore peace or fuel further conflict in the region. #Manipur #AFSPA #Insurgency #IndianArmy #EthnicViolence #SecurityForces #MilitaryAction #ManipurViolence #AFSPAManipur #HomeMinistry #DisturbedAreas #IndiaUnrest #ManipurCrisis #ViolenceInManipur #InsurgentGroups #RestoringOrder ~PR.274~ED.103~HT.336~GR.125~

Aditya Thackeray slams BJP-Shinde govt over Funds Misuse and Campaign Manipulation| WATCH

Aditya Thackeray accused the BJP-Shinde government of misusing public funds, including spending ₹74 crore on painting Metro walls instead of addressing critical issues like farmers' welfare, roads, pensions, and healthcare. He alleged that 90,000 workers from Gujarat have been brought in to manipulate Maharashtra elections, turning it into a battle for Gujarat rather than Maharashtra. Promising strict action against corruption and wrongdoing, Thackeray urged voters to back Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) for the state's better future. #AdityaThackeray #MVA #MaharashtraElections2024 #BJPShindeGovt #FarmersWelfare #MetroWallControversy #Oneindia #Oneindianews ~HT.318~ED.101~PR.362~GR.344~
