The incorporation of 140 members from the Nicobari tribe and Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) marks a historic step for the Andaman and Nicobar Police. The recruitment drive, which was meticulously carried out, is a testament to an inclusive approach in governmental policies.

The Director General of Police, Hargobinder Singh Dhaliwal, emphasized the importance of this initiative by congratulating the candidates, especially acknowledging women candidates and those with technical qualifications. This integration promises to bolster community-oriented policing across the islands.

The process has also hinted at broader societal integration, with educational initiatives for Shompens and Jarawas paving the way for future participation. The anticipation for future tribal recruitment into the police force is bolstered by the milestone achievement of the Shompens voting in the Lok Sabha elections for the first time.
