“She serves, she nurtures, she does it all… A mother, a warrior, standing tall… Constable Reena from 16BN/RPSF performing her duties while carrying her child, representing the countless mothers who balance the call of duty with motherhood every day,” the agency wrote while posting the video.

According to The Times of India (TOI), the constable who was originally on leave was asked to report on duty following the harrowing incident of the stampede at New Delhi Railway Station that claimed 18 lives.

Why did Reena carry her child to work?

Reena’s husband, a CRPF constable, is stationed in Jammu and Kashmir, reported the outlet. Her in-laws are no longer alive. With no one else to take care of her kid, she takes her child to work while continuing her search for a caregiver.

"It's a normal routine for me. I just make sure the baby doesn't get hurt,” Reena told the outlet. “I'm looking for a caregiver to help me, but until then, I'll keep doing what I have to do,” she added.

As per the outlet, while on duty Reena carries homemade dalia porridge, blanket, nappies, and milk for her kid.
