Vadodara: Saroj Kumari (IPS) has been recognised for her exemplary work during the lockdown by the National Commission for Women (NCW). Kumari, who is now posted as DCP (headquarters) in Surat, won the Covid Women Warriors’ award during NCW’s 29th Foundation Day in New Delhi recently.
During the lockdown, she ensured that hundreds of homeless didn’t go hungry every night. “The award was a recognition of the work that our team did during the lockdown,” said Kumari, who was posted as DCP (headquarters) in the city last year. “Our team of eight women cops used to complete their eight-hour duty and then turn up at the city police headquarters at Pratapnagar,” said Kumari.
