Keep combat profile young: Shah to CRPF

New Delhi, December 6

The over 3.25-lakh personnel strong CRPF, the country’s largest paramilitary force, is working on a proposal mooted by Union Home Minister Amit Shah to keep its combat profile “young and fit” for operations in the anti-Naxal and counter-insurgency domain, officials said on Friday. 

Shah recently conducted a review of the force at its headquarters after which the direction came. The CRPF has constituted a six-member committee of officers to prepare a blueprint if a threshold cut-off age can be fixed after which personnel can be shifted to “relatively static duties” within the organisation or such personnel can be given less-hard duties. — TNS
