Border Security Force gets first woman field officer

The Border Security Force on Saturday received its first woman field officer after a convocation ceremony conducted in the BSF academy at Tekanpur in Madhya Pradesh’s Gwalior district. Tanushree Pareek, a resident of Rajasthan, led the passing-out parade at the academy as the first woman field officer. She was also felicitated at the ceremony. Pareek started training last year in a 52-week Assistant Commandant training programme with the 40th batch of the BSF academy. Union home minister Rajnath Singh congratulated the force and hoped that many more women will join Pareek in securing the borders.
