Mumbai: The Maharashtra police have reduced the working hours of its women constables from 12 hours to eight hours, to help them balance their professional and personal lives, a senior official said on Friday.
State Director General of Police Sanjay Pandey confirmed the implementation of the initiative, which was first tried out in Nagpur city, Amaravati city, and Pune Rural.
The initiative was implemented on an experimental basis in the three regions last month, and will come into force in other cities and districts in the state in some days, the official said.
Considering the commitments women constables have at home besides their professional duties, the initiative was started a month ago and gave good results, he said.
