She added that there is no one back at home to take care of the baby.
“I have no one at home to take care of my baby so I am forced to bring her along with me. It gets uncomfortable at times but I have no other option,” said Roy.
Roy’s husband is a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawan and is posted outside of Assam.
Roy, a resident of Silchar’s Malugram area, said she is grateful to her colleagues and the police department for being very accommodating.
“I do leave a little early as it gets very difficult for the baby to be with me throughout the day,” she told ND TV.
“I have applied for further leave but until it is approved, I will continue my duty this way,” Roy said.
