BHOPAL: A woman police officer carrying her toddler daughter in a baby carrier bag while discharging her duty at a helipad in Madhya Pradesh's Alirajpur district has won praise from Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan for her dedication to work.
The officer identified as Monika Singh is posted as deputy superintendent of police (DSP) in MP's Dhar district. She was deployed at the helipad for the CM's chopper, who reached Alirajpur on Tuesday for the two-day campaigning for the upcoming bypoll for the Jobat Assembly seat.

However, opposition Congress alleged that posting a woman officer, who has a one-and-a-half-year-old daughter, under heat at the helipad for the CM's chopper shows insensitivity on part of the state government.
In a photo shared by Chouhan, he is seen placing his hand on the head of the baby girl sitting in the carrier bag tied to the body of her mother, before boarding the chopper on Wednesday.
Monika Singh, currently posted in the Dhar district, informed that she took her daughter along with her as she had to go to Alirajpur, nearly 145 km from Dhar, for two days.
