Chief of Army Staff Gen Bipin Rawat who was in Dehradun on Sunday said that the recruitment of women in the Corps of Military Police (CMP) will “start before the year ends”. The chief had announced last year that women will be recruited at ranks other than officers in the Army for the first time although he hadn’t specified any date for the recruitment.
The Army is expected to induct 800 women, and in the first year, a batch of 52 will be recruited. “We are working on the induction of women in CMP below officer rank and it will definitely happen this year. The recruitment could start before the end of this year,” Rawat said.
