Jammu and Kashmir government on Monday announced a 15% reservation for Women in the non-gazetted posts in the J&K Police.

바카라œOn the occasion of National Girl Child Day, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha announced 15% reservation for Women in the non-gazetted posts in the Jammu Kashmir Police. This landmark decision will further strengthen women empowerment in J&K UT,바카라 a government spokesman said.

Sinha added that the 15% reservation is just the beginning and the government is determined and committed to increase it further in the future.

"For women and girls to be agents of change, J&K government is committed to ensuring Nari Shaktis바카라™ social and economic empowerment while redressing long-standing inequalities to build a more just and resilient society바카라, Sinha added.

바카라œThe step of 15 % reservation for women in JKP will give due representation to women in the Police force and will ensure the availability of sufficient women personnel to engage exclusively in the matter of gender-based crimes. The move will lay the foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable society,바카라 he added.

바카라œDespite several assurances before 2019, the matter of reservation for women in J&K Police was never addressed. At present, without any exclusive reservation, women constitute 3% of the total strength of J&K Police and the numbers will increase after the reservation is implemented in future recruitments,바카라 the government spokesman added.
