IPS Kala Ramachandran's Plans for Gurugram:
She has some great plans for Gurugram. Moreover, the city is not new for her as her husband was also posted as the Commissioner of Police of Gurugram some years back.
“I will spell out my detailed plans when I join and meet my team, but my basic goal of strengthening basic policing is very clear. As police personnel, I would ensure that the entire force works towards making the city and its residents safe and secure,” she said while talking to PTI.
She also added, “Traffic is one of the key concerns in Gurugram and this will be on the top charts. We are also looking to provide road and cyber safety to all residents."
We think her life may be an inspiration for millions of women in India who wish to apply for the Civil Services Exam and qualify for it. Even IPS would be a great choice for women aspirants.
