Women police officers real stars, says Anushka Shetty

Hyderabad, Jan : Popular actor Anushka Shetty on Wednesday described women police officers as the real stars, as it is because of their efforts that women feel secure.
The actor of “Baahubali” fame was addressing “SHEPahi”, the first annual conference of women police officers in the Cyberabad police commissionerate.
“Though we film stars are portrayed as stars, each one of you seated in this hall is a star. We are reel stars and you are the real stars. Because of your efforts and hard work behind us, we feel so secure and your sacrifices are supreme,” she said.
Over 750 women police personnel and their officers attended the daylong conference, whose theme was ‘SHEpahi’. SHE stands for strength, humanity and empathy, the attributes that a woman brings to the police force while ‘pahi’ means good work.
Cyberabad Police Commissioner V.C. Sajjanar said that they decided to organise the annual conference to discuss issues and challenges faced by women personnel.
He pointed out 12 per cent of the total police force in Cyberabad is women. “They are efficient. Given any responsibility, they perform well. 50 per cent of senior police officers in Cyberabad are women. We have women in all the 17 verticals. We work shoulder to shoulder in tandem,” he said.
