Sixty constables undergo training and clear licence test after their male counterparts shy away from driving duty


The eight-hour shift for constabulary has come as a boon to personnel, but it's not without its problems - the biggest one being shortage of drivers for police vehicles. To that end, 60 women constables, who have been taking driving lessons for all vehicles from 9 am to 6 pm, appeared for their permanent (driving) licence test at Tardeo RTO on Thursday and cleared it. "All the policewomen, aged between 22 and 43 and from the rank of constable to naik, have cleared," said inspector Meenal Tarkar, who works in the East region and coordinated with the motor transport department.
