Women cops to get paid period leave in Arunachal capital

Itanagar: Female police personnel in Arunachal Pradesh's capital region will now get a special leave during their periods.
According to an office memorandum issued by Capital SP Rohit Rajbir Singh on Wednesday, female police personnel will be entitled to avail one day of special leave on the first or second day of their menstrual cycle each month.
"This initiative underscores the commitment of the Itanagar Capital Region Police to fostering a supportive work environment that accommodates the specific health needs of its women personnel, thereby enhancing their morale, productivity, and operational readiness," the memorandum read.
The terms and conditions stipulate that the special leave will be treated as 'on duty' for all purposes, and a designated lady officer at the SP office and respective police stations will maintain detailed records of the leave availed.
The memorandum further clarifies that no extension of the special leave beyond the sanctioned one day will be permitted.
