According to an official statement, the women commandos underwent intensive training designed to prepare them for high-risk security situations

The course included tactical operations and close-quarter battle (CQB) techniques, counter-terrorism drills, rapid response operations, reflex firing and advanced weapons handling and emergency deployment to protect critical infrastructure

The training aims to equip the commandos to respond quickly and effectively during security emergencies, the official statement said

The graduation ceremony was attended by Additional Director General (Airport Sector) Binita Thakur, IPS, who congratulated the trainees on successfully completing the demanding course

The first Mahila QRT course forms part of the CISF's wider efforts to increase women's participation in specialised operational duties

The force had earlier launched its first all-women commando training programme at the Regional Training Centre in Barwaha. More recently, 22 women personnel were inducted into the Quick Reaction Team Wing at the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC)

Women Quick Reaction Teams are also deployed at airports and other high-security installations protected by the CISF
