In a vigorous push to promote women’s empowerment and strengthen law enforcement, the Tripura government has recruited 975 police officers, including 332 women, as described by the largest female personnel official in the state’s history.
Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha handed over the appointment letter at a function held on Tuesday (May 13, 2025), which was attended by senior police and civil government officials. Inclusion of 332 women in the latest recruitment is seen as a step in diversifying the state’s police force and promoting gender representation.

“The government is not only focused on human resources, but also actively develops the necessary infrastructure to support our policing and social goals,” he said.
