New Delhi: New buzz is that VIP security will soon welcome trained CRPF women commandos. They will be added to the security detail of Z-plus category protectees based in Delhi, including Home Minister Amit Shah, Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra as well as former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

Sources said the women personnel, who have been through a mandatory course covering all aspects of VIP security, may also accompany the protected persons on campaign visits to the states where assembly polls are due in the near future.

The women commandos, like their male counterparts, will carry arms, ballistic protection, and other gadgets as required on the job.
