Last year, a senior Haryana government official objected to women employees coming to the office attired in anything except salwarkameez (loose tunic and trousers) or a sari.
Sometimes she is dressed in her police uniform, but often she is undercover, wearing a colourful salwarkameez (long tunic and pyjama) or a sari to blend in with the female passengers.
At first, recalls Mrs Sethi, the girls would not take off their chunnis (loose scarves worn over their salwarkameez, or tunic and trousers, to hide the line of the body) when they played.
