In a historic move, the Chhattisgarh Police have inducted nine transgender individuals into their Bastar Fighters special unit. This marks the first time that transgender individuals have been included in a special unit of the police force in the state. The move is being hailed as a step towards inclusivity and diversity within the police force.
The individuals, who have undergone training and passed necessary medical examinations, will be deployed in the Bastar division, which is known for its ongoing fight against Naxalism. The police have stated that the transgender individuals have been selected based on their physical and mental fitness, and have undergone rigorous training to prepare for their roles.
This move is being seen as a positive step towards creating an inclusive and equal society. Many have praised the Chhattisgarh Police for taking this initiative and hope that it will pave the way for more transgender individuals to join the police force and other government and non-government organizations.
The inclusion of transgender individuals in the Bastar Fighters special unit is a significant step in the right direction and serves as an example for other states to follow. This move will help break stereotypes and promote equal opportunities for all individuals, regardless of their gender identity.
