Women soldiers of Assam Rifles mainly.

Karnah, adjoining the Line of Control in North Kashmir, is stationed in the Tangdar sector only.

Apart from this, if an anti-terrorist operation is going on in a populated area, then their help is also taken during the search of houses there.

A senior army officer said that the convenience we have got in counter-terrorism operations due to the presence of women soldiers is a different matter, the biggest impact has been on the mentality of the local people.

Seeing these women soldiers, many people here have started talking about sending their daughters to the army and central forces.

People of Kashmir are patient: Rekha.

Rekha Kumari, who hails from Bardhaman in Bengal, said that she had also been posted in Manipur and Nagaland before coming to Kashmir.

When the deployment took place here, there were many fears in my mind, when I came here, all the fears went away.

The people here are very cordial in conversation. When we go in a search operation, it is a symbol of the lenient and soft attitude of the security forces. Women fully cooperate in the search operation.

I am a woman and can understand other women’s expressions very well. This increases the confidence of the local women in us and they cooperate.

Local girls ask about recruitment: Rupali.

Rupali Dangad, a woman soldier from Maharashtra, said that she participates in almost every kind of duty here. From the duty of sentry to the security of the bunker.

Also goes in the search operation. Nakas is also posted. There’s no fear here. It is very nice when local girls come to us and ask us about joining the army.
