With the addition of play and feeding rooms, All Women Police Stations (AWPS) in the Tiruchi area are expected to become more family and mother-friendly. Now that the facilities have been supplied, the AWPS in Ariyalur, Manapparai, and Tiruverumbur may use them. The initiative, which was the brainchild of V. Balakrishnan, Deputy Inspector General of Police, Tiruchi Range, aims to reassure women and children attending police stations. Women are proving their talent in many fields, police is also one such department where women are acing. Being a mother could be difficult when a woman is in police department.
To make things easier, playing rooms and feeding rooms are available in all women police stations in Trichy for helping breastfeeding mothers who are working in the department. This is a great initiative by V. Balakrishnan which could help in providing a better work-life balance for women police. These can also be used by other breastfeeding mothers who are not in the department.
