In recognition of the achievements of 16 women police officials who have excelled in sports and participated in many national and international arenas, the district administration has made their graffiti on the walls of the PAP campus and adjoining flyover.

Deputy Commissioner Ghanshyam Thori said the graffiti will not only motivate girls, but would also inspire budding players to achieve new feats in the field of sports. He said the graffiti was made under the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao programme to depict that the girls must be given the freedom to join sports, so that they can make their country proud one day like these officers.

These 16 officers have excelled in various games including judo, kabbadi, shooting, weightlifting, wrestling, and athletics and are now working in the Punjab Police at various positions ranging from PPS officer to constables.

These include PPS officers Sunita Rani, Manjit Kaur, Harwant Kaur, Avneet Kaur Sandhu, Harveen Saaro, and Kushbir Kaur, Inspector Rajwinder Kaur Gill, Constable Ravneet Kaur, Inspector Rajwinder Kaur, ASI Randeep Kaur, ASI Mandeep Kaur, Head Constable Amandeep Kaur, Head Constable Manpreet Kaur, Sub Inspector Anjumanmor Gill, Sub Inspector Rajwant, and Gursharanpreet Kaur.

Giving a new slogan of Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, the DC said women have played a stellar role in making India a front-runner and people must promote their daughters to join the forces and sports.

Notably, the district administration had also dedicated the biggest ever graffiti to ace shuttlers Sania Nehwal and PV Sindhu at Hansraj Stadium besides graffiti of braveheart Kusum Kumari to recognise her heroic deed during a snatching attempt.
