CHENNAI: Underlining the crucial role of women in maintaining law and order, Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai on Wednesday said increasing the number of female personnel in police force not only transforms public perception of police but also strengthens the force's overall effectiveness.

The minister, who spoke in Hindi, lauded the Tamil Nadu Police and the Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPR&D) for organising the conference and urged all states to implement its key recommendations. Acknowledging the dual responsibilities borne by women, in policing and at home, the minister stressed on the need for adequate workplace facilities and support system for them. He also underscored that the three new criminal laws (BNS, BNSS, and BSA) introduced by the Centre include special provisions to better address crimes against women.
