In the wake of the Maharashtra police's decision of reducing the working hours of its women constables from 12 hours to eight hours, the Shiv Sena in Goa on Saturday demanded that a similar step be introduced in the state by the BJP government.

Shiv Sena's Goa unit spokesperson Rakhi Prabhudesai Naik said that the decision of Maharashtra government would benefit thousands of women working in the police force.
