Of these 69 members belonging to various paramilitary forces, Central Police Organisations (CPOs) and police officers of different states 19 are women, a Home Ministry Official told ANI on condition of anonymity.
This new 69-member qualified team is now part of UNSAAT- 2022-2024 panel, and the members of the panel will be deputed in five Indian missions abroad that include Cyprus, South Sudan and Mali.
