A picture of a female Special Protection Group (SPG) commando behind prime minister Narendra Modi has sparked a lot of debate on social media. Since it was posted on november 27, the picture has gone viral. The image has been shared by several individuals, including kangana ranaut, the mp for Mandi.
The female commando was previously regarded as part of President Droupadi Murmu's protection, according to some, while others observed that this was the first time a female commando had been a member of the PM's security. A video featuring a female commando in PM Modi's protection caused a similar controversy seven years ago.
According to insiders, women commandos have long been a component of the group's security structure. Initially, advanced deployment responsibilities were assigned mostly to women in the SPG. According to reports, parliament is where female SPG commandos are assigned duties, as seen in the photo of the female SPG commando behind the PM.
In order to verify female guests and keep an eye on those coming in and going out, these female commandos are often positioned at the entrances. In addition, female SPG agents manage security checks, offer escort services, and guarantee easy access to the prime minister when a female visitor meets him.
Women have also been a part of the SPG's Close Protection Team (CPT) since 2015. women SPG commandos are a member of the PM's security detail when the PM travels overseas, supporting security operations and helping with sophisticated security coordination. There are now about 100 female commandos in the SPG. These commandos perform advanced security coordinating duties in addition to close protection duties.
