Paramilitary Veterans Seek Review of Transfers and Suspension Amid CAPF Act Opposition
Retired and serving Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) officers have raised concerns over the suspension of CRPF Deputy Inspector-General B.C. Patra and the transfer of 20 officers, actions linked to opposition against the recently passed CAPF (General Administration) Act. The Alliance of Ex-Paramilitary Forces Welfare Association alleges these measures target officers and their families for protesting the Act, which they say favors IPS officers in deputation and affects promotion prospects. They demand a review of punitive actions and call for addressing service condition disparities.
