Punjab Cabinet nod to cricketer Harmanpreet's appointment as DSP

The Punjab cabinet today approved the appointment of woman cricketer Harmanpreet Kaur as a DSP in the state police department.

The chief minister had offered the DSP post to Harmanpreet after her sizzling knock of 171 runs led the Indian team's victory in a semi-final match of the recently concluded ICC Women's World Cup.

She had accepted the offer and subsequently quit her job in the Indian Railways. The Arjuna Award winner's appointment is being made against a direct quota post.
