"Women constitute nearly 20 per cent of the total police force in Mumbai. This should be the basic facility at the workplace, as periods are natural and unpredictable,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Niyati Thakkar told ANI.
Last week, one such vending machine was installed in the police headquarters. The machine was unveiled by Mumbai Police Commissioner Sanjay Barve and his wife.
“I hope other public and private organizations also come up with this facility for women at their workplace,” Thakkar added.
