Kindhearted

[Rattan Chand Sharma @RattanRC]

Unprofessionals heading security organisations will bring catastrophe for nation in long run. Political and bureaucratic leadership need to realise this hard truth. Learn from arthsashtra and Chanakya regime keeps on harping.

[Rattan Chand Sharma @RattanRC]

CAPFs have matured cadre for command,professional acumen for role which IPS lack trained for policing not for armed forces. Coast Guard cadre in command in 38 years of raising.Why not CAPFs with combined experience of 200 years plus. 01 Govt,02 ministries, different standards.

@Kriti_verma_ Inter-se seniority between Army and civil police is not decided by the number of a particular rank personnel posted. Kindly get your facts clear before making wild statements.

[Colonel Mukul @Warrior_Mukul]

Madam, I respectfully submit to you that please read the Warrant of Precedence regarding the inter-se seniority in between DC of a District and a Colonel. I thought that you know about that. As regards to an SHO, for your kind information, a Major is a Class I Gazetted Officer wherein a SHO is not even an Officer. Further, a Major, normally commands a minimum of 6 JCOs (which is a gazetted rank) as the Company Commander. Hope this input would make you wiser.

[Rattan Chand Sharma @RattanRC]

It is not question of seniority but respect to armed forces, on whom administration depends even for conduct of local elections and minor law & order issues, disaster management and so on. Govt in India is incapable to govern without armed forces. So respect not boot them.

[Lt Col Sharad Sharan (Retd) @sharadsharan]

There can't be a bigger shame than this for the organization.

First promotion after about 16 damn yrs of service! Look at the faces of them all. They have all crossed their prime, have grown up kids and first promotion!!

What a pathetic career progression!

Atleast could have done this quietly, instead of copying such traditions from armed forces and shaming these officers like this!

When are we going to have good career prospects for them? When!?

Heard some have been terminated too for being vocal!

Good going😞

For the sake of uniform, bring reforms... Pleaseeee.

Jai Hind.
🙏🏻🇮🇳

@crpfindia @gpsinghips @HMOIndia @PIBHomeAffairs What a shame to celebrate mandatory promotios, you have to promote them from AC to DC, they deserve it and clear the promotion exams, what about DIG to IG?
Shame on hierarchy... You cannot target the cognitive domain with these useless posts.

@crpfindia @gpsinghips @HMOIndia @PIBHomeAffairs It takes how many years to be Dy Commandant from last designation?

Heartiest congratulations to all the promoted officers!💐
No one else can truly understand the immense pride and emotion that these officers and their families are feeling now. Completing 15 long years of dedicated service in some of the most challenging regions — Jammu & Kashmir, Naxal-affected areas, the Northeast, riot-prone situations, and election duties — is a remarkable achievement in itself. Maintaining an outstanding ACR consistently over such a demanding period reflects extraordinary professionalism, resilience, and commitment.
This promotion marks two significant milestones:
a record number of officers being promoted in a single batch, and the culmination of the long wait for that first well-deserved promotion.

Sincere gratitude and thanks to DG CRPF .

Dear officers,Your perseverance and sacrifices have not gone unnoticed. May this be the beginning of many more successes in your distinguished careers.

@anshjain20173 Who has called incompetent? But if you insist, their incompetence (and it is a universal phenomenon) only leads to such situations where forces have to be called in.

[Col AJ🇮🇳 @ajaykraina]

Army vs Police in Kishtwar.

Beyond the visible show of solidarity (and rightfully so), these are a few hard facts that happen on the ground:
1. Bureaucrats, across the board have a strong dislike for Army. Ask any soldier who ever approaches a bureaucrat for resolving an issue related to own property or safety of family, and the real feedback comes out. Even LDCs and UDCs show an attitude not worth writing about
2. Cops, especially at SHO and similar levels, hold a similar attitude. IPS officers, especially at the senior level are much better while an ambiguity appears to be fogging the minds of junior and mid level officers.
3. Army treats both these entities with respect and usually goes beyond the laid down protocol to treat them well. So, a senior brigadier or general treating a DSP or an SP, despite a seniority gap of over a decade and a half, is nothing rare. All that news of joint ops are usually fabricated to accommodate JKP even when operations are wholly solely carried out by the Army. Sharing of intelligence and actual firing to kill are two different things but Army always shows large heartedness unlike cops whose sequence of operations during media brief always starts with JKP first. We witnessed some real ugly scenes during operations in Kathua recently. JKP, however, remains a potent force and deserves accolades but the evitable friction between functionaries at lower levels exists.
4. One reason why egos of cops clash with fauj is the system of badges of ranks evolved by the babus and never objected to by the forces. Not many countries follow such a system where a 12 years service IPS DIG wears same badges as a 22 years service Brigadier. The parity expected is based on a false equivalence but it exists in a naked form.
5. Through manipulated pay scales, similarly, IAS have placed themselves on top both in grades and in warrant of precedence. A simple comparison of the two documents of today and 1990 will prove the manipulation being referred to. IAS lobby today places armed forces somewhere in a vacuum between AIS and Gp B, referring to commissioned ranks as something belonging to a mystique.

While what happened in Kishtwar shouldn't have happened, believing the FIR and the sections of BNS applied will be a folly. The fact that RR teams do operate in covert mode is no revelation. If the cops want others to believe that they discovered the modus operandi only yesterday and decided to impound the civil vehicles being used by the RR troops on the spot, they would be seen as if pulling an impossible lie. What made them act in such a manner is now well-known! Ego of a bureaucrat vis-a-vis compulsion to oblige by cops vis-a-vis audacity to point a loaded weapon at RR troops. What followed thereafter could have got uglier.
Now, press will write what babus tell them, the cops will write sections as fancied but without truth in the FIRs while the RR troops will stay focused on their operations. Remember, if babus and cops had done their jobs well, army wouldn't have been called out of barracks to do what it is not supposed to do for so long in the first place. Pl note the so-called public meetings started happening after forces made environment safe enough to do so!

[Rakesh Kumar Yadav @Samaskaara2015]

Dear Author None of the arguments advanced in your article validate or justify the actions attributed to Mr. G.P. Singh DG CRPF. The serving personnel of the CAPFs are among the most disciplined members of the nation's security apparatus. Their long-standing demand for fair career progression, comparable to that available to other Organised Group 'A' Services (OGAS), is a legitimate service matter—not an act of indiscipline or anti-departmental activity.
It is deeply disappointing that instead of constructively addressing these genuine grievances, the leadership has allegedly chosen to oppose them at every stage. What is even more disturbing is the reported attempt to seek legislative intervention to nullify the effect of a Supreme Court judgment that recognized the legitimate rights of serving officers. Such an approach, if accurate, undermines the spirit of constitutional governance and sends a deeply discouraging message to thousands of dedicated officers and men who have devoted their lives to serving the nation under extremely challenging conditions.
No democratic institution should treat the lawful assertion of service rights as disloyalty. Force personnel deserve respect, fairness, and adherence to the rule of law—not retaliation for pursuing remedies available under the Constitution. Leadership should inspire confidence by upholding justice, implementing judicial decisions in letter and spirit, and engaging with stakeholders in a transparent and equitable manner, rather than appearing to resist legitimate reforms.
The interests of the organisation are best served not by suppressing the aspirations of its own officers, but by ensuring that justice, fairness, and the rule of law prevail.

बड़े जोर शोर से सोशल मीडिया पर ढिंढोरा पीटा जा रहा है कि ग्राउंड कमांडर बने डिप्टी कमांडेंट। क्या दोस्तों आपको पता है कि एक पौड़ी चढ़ने के लिए 15 सालों लम्बा इंतजार करना पड़ा ऐसे ही चलता रहा तो DIG IG की छोड़िये कभी कमांडेंट बन पायेंगे? सिपाही तो पहले ही अगली पदोन्नति के लिए 20 सालों तक का लम्बा इंतजार करना पड़ रहा है.. हैं ना उल्टी फीते का कमाल

[Ramesh Chandra @amoli09]

I appreciate the camaraderie shown by the young officers with the ranks of the Force. That’s the making of the Force with excellent regimentation!

[Arun kumar @ArunKum47541674]

Heartiest congratulations to promoted officers .💐
Nobody else can understand the feelings of these officers and their families who have completed 15 yrs of journey in difficult areas of jk,naxals,NE ,riotious situatins elections etc .how difficult it must have been to maintain outstanding ACR for such a long period.
Two milestones: record promotions in one go and yrs it has taken to get first promotion.

CRPF:  263 ग्राउंड कमांडरों को मिली पदोन्नति, सहायक कमांडेंट से डिप्टी कमांडेंट बनने में लगे 15 साल
https://t.co/YPf4LOIewI
डीजी ने कहा था कि वे गंभीरता से इस पर काम कर रहे हैं। अदालत में पैरवी हो या MHA में मजबूती से अफसरों का पक्ष रखना, इसमें कोई कसर बाकी नहीं छोड़ी जा रही।

[Jitender Bhardwaj @journo_jitendra]

पहली पदोन्नति 15 साल में मिली है, यानी सेवा का लगभग आधा कार्यकाल पूरा हो चुका है। देखने वाली बात ये है कि अब बचे हुए कार्यकाल में ये कैडर अफसर कहाँ तक पहुँचेंगे। गृह राज्य मंत्री नित्यानंद राय संसद में #CAPF बिल पर हुई चर्चा में कह चुके हैं कि सरकार इन्हें चार प्रमोशन दे रही है।

CRPF DIG Suspended; 20 Officers Transferred Amid CAPF Act Protests

A CRPF Deputy Inspector General (DIG) has been suspended and 20 officers transferred following protests against the Central Armed Police Force (General Administration) Act, 2026, according to The Hindu.

The suspended officer is under inquiry over allegations of sharing "politically provocative" content on social media. Meanwhile, families of several transferred officers had participated in protests at Jantar Mantar and Rajghat opposing the new law.

The CRPF has stated that the transfers were made on administrative and operational grounds, adding that serving personnel are bound by service rules and any violations will be dealt with in accordance with the law.
