The CMP authorities claimed that the townspeople hailed the introduction of the female traffic police service in the city. During a recent visit to different intersections, the female traffic constables were seen performing their duties diligently alongside their male colleagues defying the scorching sun. Replying to a query, both female traffic constables said they did not face any gender-based discrimination while performing their duties. The women commuters feel much comfortable with women traffic police for lodging any complaint,” said the traffic sergeant. Speaking to the Dhaka Tribune, Masud-ul-Hasan, CMP additional commissioner (traffic), said they had decided to induct 15 more female traffic police, including an officer as the initiative got positive response from the city people.
