International Women's Day: PM Modi's Gujarat event to have all-women police security on 8 March

In a first-of-its-kind initiative in India, an all-women police contingent will handle the entire security arrangement for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's event in Gujarat's Navsari district on International Women's Day, March 8, a state minister announced on Thursday.

Referring to the historic move, Gujarat State Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi said, "For



the first time in India’s history, only women police personnel will be responsible for the security of the Prime Minister—from his arrival at the helipad in Vansi Borsi village to the event venue."

The security arrangements will be overseen by senior IPS officer and Home Secretary Nipuna Torawane, ensuring seamless execution of this landmark initiative.
