Delhi Police Women Commandos

In view of the upcoming G-20 summit, 19 women commandos of the Delhi Police have been imparted specialised training as "markswomen" to act as the frontline sharpshooters during the key event, officials said on Tuesday.

After more than a year of being put through their paces - learning to scale buildings, defuse bombs and rescue hostages - India's first all-female commando team started work on Friday, breaking a traditionally male bastion.
