Elite Training and Capabilities of Delhi's Women SWAT Commandos
Kajal Chaudhary was part of Delhi Police's prestigious all-women SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) commando unit, an elite force specifically trained to handle the unique security challenges of the national capital. These highly skilled women commandos undergo rigorous preparation for high-risk operations that require exceptional physical and mental capabilities.
Their comprehensive training includes:
- Advanced unarmed combat techniques for close-quarters engagements
- Specialized ambush and counter-ambush tactical operations
- Both jungle and urban warfare scenarios
- Building intervention strategies for multi-storey structures
- Vehicle and bus intervention procedures for hostage situations
- VVIP security duties requiring precision and discretion
Specialized Skill Development for Urban Security
The women SWAT commandos receive extensive training in climbing multi-storey buildings and conducting complex hostage rescue missions at various locations including hotels, public buses, and Metro stations throughout Delhi. Their operational readiness extends to handling critical security situations that demand immediate response and specialized expertise.
Beyond tactical maneuvers, these elite officers are equipped with knowledge of explosives and improvised explosive devices (IEDs), along with proficiency in operating a wide range of sophisticated weapons systems. This comprehensive training prepares them for the diverse security challenges they might encounter while protecting the capital city and its residents.
The tragic loss of Commando Kajal Chaudhary highlights both the professional dedication of these elite officers and the personal challenges they may face outside their demanding professional roles. Her death while serving in one of Delhi Police's most specialized units has brought attention to the dual pressures faced by women in high-stress security positions.
