Over 250 CRPF Officers Receive First Promotion After 15-Year Delay
Over 250 Assistant Commandant officers of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) received their first promotion to Deputy Commandant after a 14-15-year delay, following prolonged litigation and resolution of seniority and vacancy issues. The Supreme Court's April order clarified the matter, prompting the Ministry of Home Affairs to issue promotion orders on June 26. While officers remain in current posts due to operational constraints, the promotions are seen as a morale booster and expected to create a ripple effect for lower ranks.
