The Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) has inducted 8 women personnel for training, handling and deployment of Malinois dogs, the very same famous breed that secures ITBP troops in the anti-Naxal theatre and protects civilians during anti-sabotage check tasks by the force.

This is for the first time the glass ceiling has been broken in the field of dog handling in the CAPFs. ITBP now has the distinction of being the first CAPF in the country to induct women dog handlers.
