Crucial shortage of officers' hits CAPF; senior posts lying vacant

With five senior posts of Special Director Central of Central Reserve Police Force and Border Security Force still lying vacant, country's paramilitary forces are in a precarious situation.

According to sources three posts at CRPF and two with BSF have been lying vacant for a long time now. These posts are -

At BSF

1. Special DG (HR) - a post lying vacant ever since Dilip Trivedi shifted to BSF.

2. Special DG (Operations) - a post lying vacant since Himmat Singh moved back to his parent cadre

At CRPF

1. Special DG (Jammu & Kashmir zone) - DK Pathak moved from this post to fill same post at BSF

2. Special DG (North East) - Aruna Bahuguna's appointment as the first ever women Director of National Police Academy, Hyderabad has left this position vacant

3. Special DG (Central Zone, Kolkata)

Even with the security requirement of the country increasing every day, the government seems to be in no hurry to fill the crucial appointments. Insiders attribute the delay to the lack of options in front of the decision makers. Among the probable candidates, 1979-batch IPS officers have already been empanelled as director general, while the 1980 batch is yet to be empanelled.

Hopefully, it is expected that the government will tighten its belt soon and the delay will not last long enough to leave a huge dent on our forces.
