Punjab Chief Minister Capt. Amarinder Singh has offered star woman cricketer Harmanpreet Kaur the DSP’s position in Punjab Police, saying he wants to “correct a wrong” done to her in the past.
Harmanpreet played a crucial role in India reaching the final of the ICC World Cup in England. Her hurricane knock of 171 against Australia in the semifinals was the highlight of her contribution.
Proud of @ImHarmanpreet, they gave an excellent fight to England in the World Cup final, would be happy to appoint her DSP if she desires.

Having already announced a cash prize of ₹5 lakh for the batter on Sunday, the CM offered her a job after speaking to her father Harmandar Singh in Moga.
Harmanpreet had reportedly wanted to join the Punjab Police some years ago but had been denied by the force.
My govt will review sports policy to accommodate sportspersons like @ImHarmanpreet in govt jobs, committed to promoting their interests.

Amarinder said it was a “wrong perpetrated on the young cricketer by the previous Badal government, which had refused to accommodate the national player in Punjab Police.”
The Chief Minister also promised to review the State’s sports policy to provide government jobs to young sportspersons like Harmanpreet.
