According to the Indian Army officials, the cadre of women soldiers in the Corps of Military Police will be maintained at a fixed number of 1,700 corps. The Indian Army will achieve this number by filling in the corps in batches. Lieutenant General Ashwani Kumar, Colonel Commandant of the Corps of Military Police had last week interviewed Lieutenant Colonel Nandani for the training instructor's position.
According to sources, the women soldiers will take up the duties of policing cantonments and other Army establishments in the Corps of Military Police. The women soldiers will also work in co-operation with the civil police of various state governments as well as the Centre.
They will also handle prisoners of war and ensure the maintenance of rules. The women soldiers will also investigate cases of crime. At present, women work only in engineering, medical, legal, signals, and educational wings of the Indian Army.
The main objective behind inducting women soldiers in the Army is to increase their representation in the services.
