Cops at Kashi Vishwanath Dham to wear dhotis

An experiment in this regard was held in 2018 also. According to temple officials, the male officers will wear dhoti and a dupatta (shawl) to resemble priests, while female officers will wear salwar kurta. Before deployment, these officers will undergo a three-day training programme to hone their soft-skill communication with devotees. The move is designed to improve the devotee experience and avoid negative perceptions associated with police uniforms.
