history was made in Ladakh’s Kargil district with the inauguration of its first-ever women’s police station. Additional Director General of Police, S.D. Singh Jamwal, officiated the opening of this groundbreaking facility. This specialized station is a beacon of support for women, designed to address crimes against women effectively and provide much-needed assistance. Staffed exclusively by trained female officers, the police station operates 24/7, ensuring immediate guidance, counseling, and aid to women in distress.
The establishment of the women’s police station is part of a broader initiative to enhance women’s safety and encourage them to come forward to report incidents without fear. By providing a dedicated space for addressing gender-specific issues, the station aims to foster trust between the community and law enforcement. This move is seen as a significant step towards empowering women and building a safer society in Ladakh.
