Shivani, Shweta, and Neeshu are as proud buglers at the Indian Reserve Battalion
Shimla, 13th April, 2024. Making their way into the male-dominant arena of bugle-players, 3 women personnel of the Himachal Pradesh Police Department have broken gender stereotypes as they completed training at HP Police Training College (HPPTC) Daroh to become ‘lady buglers’. They have successfully completed the Basic Bugler Course of 4 months duration. 
Three lady constables — Shivani, Shweta, and Neeshu — are now performing duties as proud buglers at the Indian Reserve Battalion. The addition of female buglers to the H.P. Police force not only highlights the department’s dedication to diversity, but also serves as an inspiration for aspiring women in law enforcement.
This initiative was taken during the incumbency of Bimal Gupta, IGP as Principal PTC. It is also in line with DGPs thinking of encouraging women police into areas, which were hitherto reserved for only males.
