Women Commandos: Catalysts for change, guardians of peace in India's red corridor
The Danteshwari Fighters, the first all-woman anti-Maoist commando unit in Bastar, has evolved from an experiment to a formidable force, with two members recently awarded promotions for their gallantry. These 97-strong volunteers are willing to risk their lives to protect their comrades and communities. Similarly, in Maharashtra's Gadchiroli district, 11 women officers are stationed at a critical outpost, ready to combat Maoist insurgents. Both units, composed of passionate and dedicated women, are making significant strides in the fight against Maoist violence.
