The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) gave a new form of security to women on International Yoga Day in the form of a new combat group for Delhi Metro. The step was taken after multiple cases of molestation were registered at Metro police stations.

The all-women combat group has been especially trained to fight in narrow enclosures, like Metro trains, with multiple opponents using a combination of Pekiti-Tirsia Kali, a Filipino martial art.
Called the "Internal Combat Group", the women demonstrated their skills in Connaught Place on Tuesday. The 20-minute demonstration was attended by senior officers of CISF and other paramilitary forces. CISF led the yoga session for all the forces, including NDRF, SSB, BSF, ITBP and others.

DIG CISF (DMRC) Raghubir Lal said that such a group was needed to win the confidence of women commuters and ensure safe travel for them.
"We have received many complaints about miscreants trying to touch women inappropriately during peak hours and even commit thefts. To provide women safer travel, the team would be deployed in civil dress to keep a watch on such offenders," said Lal.

This group has especially been trained to handle miscreants bare-handed. "These women use the smallest of daily use things to tackle a person with a much stronger built," the DIG said.
Senior officers said that the group will give combat education to women so that they can defend themselves.
