One such solution is the posting of women personnel in forces like CISF and CRPF near their hometowns which would encourage them to join these forces and increase their participation in these forces as envisaged by the government. The Committee observed that CAPF personnel work under immense pressure, the nature of their duties being such that they are deployed in harsh climatic conditions.

The Committee noted that the Ministry of Home Affairs is considering an extension of leave for CAPF personnel. The Committee recommended that the proposal be positively considered and finalized at the earliest as it would boost the morale of the CAPFs.
