Sunday was a historic day for the Indo-Tibetan Border Police Force (ITBP). For the first time in the history of ITBP, two women combat officers have been appointed. These two women were inducted as Combat Officers in the passing out parade at ITBP Academy held in Mussoorie. Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami was specially present during the parade.
This is the first time this year that two women officers, Prakriti and Diksha, who joined ITBP through the UPSC selection process (CAPF AC Exam), also took the oath of service to the nation in this team. Diksha’s father, one of these two women officers, is an inspector serving in the ITBP. After the parade, Diksha said, “My father is my role model, he always inspired me.”
