The Delhi Police has inducted an all-woman Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team, consisting of 36 commandos – the first ever by any police force in India – for anti-terrorist operations.
All the 36 women commandos in the new team are from India's northeast states.
The women commandos will be deployed at Red Fort and India Gate during Independence Day celebrations on Aug 15, 2018.
The SWAT team is the brainchild of Amulya Patnaik, the Delhi Police Commissioner.
