ICR Police in Arunachal Pradesh Offer Women Officers Menstrual Leave

A new policy has been implemented by the ICR police that permits female officers to take special leave during their menstrual cycles, which entitles them to miss one working day. Special leave will be seen as “on duty,” according to ICR Police Superintendent Rohit Rajbir Singh, and will not affect an officer’s attendance or leave balance. The department’s dedication to the health and welfare of its employees is demonstrated by this practice.

Tawang Police has put in place a policy to improve the operational readiness, morale, and productivity of female officers—who may encounter unique difficulties in their line of work. By attending to the health requirements of women, the strategy seeks to better empower and equip them, which will benefit the community as well as officers. In order to combat drug-related activities in Arunachal Pradesh, the policy also calls for interagency coordination.

Key district authorities, including DSP Tasso Kato, divisional forest officer Piyush Gaikwad, and deputy director of school instruction Hridar Phuntsok, as well as representatives from state and central intelligence agencies, attended the meeting, which was chaired by deputy commissioner Sang Khandu. In his presentation on district police tactics to combat illegal drug trafficking, DSP Kato emphasized the importance of gaon burghs and bazaar secretaries in obtaining information and promoting active exchange in order to catch local drug dealers.
