CRPF bravehearts get Kirti, Shaurya chakra

NEW DELHI: Two bravehearts of CRPF, Bhrigunandan Chaudhary, constable of 205 CoBRA and P.R.Mishra, deputy commandant of 203 CoBRA were on Friday awarded the prestigious Kirti Chakra and Shaurya Chakra respectively, by President Pranab Mukherjee in a ceremony organized at the Rashtrapati Bhawan.

Chaudhary was given the award posthumously. His mother Susheela received the medal on his behalf. Later in the day, the duo was felicitated by CRPF Dilip Trivedi.

Both were awarded the prestigious gallantry awards for showing exemplary courage while fighting Maoists in Bihar and Jharkhand. According to CRPF, constable Chaudhary was leading a group of CRPF men in Chakarbandha forest area of district Gaya (Bihar) on September 8, 2012. The group came under attack from Naxals and a gunbattle ensued. Naxals exploded an IED which critically injured Chaudhary's legs making him immobile. Chaudhary still dragged himself into a trench from where he kept firing until he bled to death.

He even assisted his fellow constable Daleep Singh by changing his gun's magazine and exhorted others to fight fearlessly.

Mishra, who won Shaurya Chakra for neutralising dreaded Naxal leader Jeetendra alias Jeetu, has received five gallantry awards already.

According to CRPF, a joint operation was launched by CRPF from September 6-12, 2012 to neutralise naxal groups congregated at Chatra and Gaya-Palamu trijunction. Mishra formed a core strike group and traversed through the hostile terrain in a pitch dark night with continuous rainfall. "With great risk to his life, Mishra crawled towards the target house. Despite being seriously injured he continued with the assault and as a result the heavily injured naxals had to flee leaving behind dead body of Jeetendra," said a senior CRPF officer.

CRPF is also doing a commendable job of ensuring peaceful elections in the country this year. To date 26 CRPF personnel have died while 37 have been injured during the elctions. In all, the force has recovered 134 IEDs, 60 arms, 548 ammunitions and 860kg of explosives in 53 encounters, till now in this election.

Women to be inducted as officers in border force for 1st time

Breaking the male bastion in the five decade-old Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), the government has approved recruitment of young women as ‘combat officers’ in the second largest border guarding force.

The women officers, after induction, will have an opportunity to serve in far-flung border locations of the force which secures ‘open’ and important Indian frontiers with Nepal and Bhutan.

Young women under and up to the age of 25 years will be recruited as direct entry officers in the rank of Assistant Commandants (ACs) and according to sources in the Union Home Ministry, the force will have the trained women officers on ground by late 2015.

Till now, women could only don the combat uniform in the officer cadre in three other central security forces, the Central Reserve Police Force, Central Industrial Security Force and the Border Security Force.

However, women will still not be inducted as officers in the third border guarding force of the country– the Indo-Tibetan Border Police Force– deployed along the China border.

The SSB, in 2007, was the first to recruit women in junior ranks of Constables but since then, the contingents were being commanded by male officers and hence a desire was felt to have women officers in the paramilitary which has close to 1,400 women personnel in ‘khaki’ at present.

The new female officers will be recruited by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) as part of the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) Exam-2014.

A total of 136 officers, both male and female, will be recruited this year.

“This is for the first time that women will be commissioned as officers in SSB, a border guarding force. The BSF was allowed to recruit women officers last year and as part of women empowerment in these premier forces, it was thought apt to induct women in combat ranks in this border force,” a senior Home Ministry official told PTI.

The SSB is about 50,000 personnel strong force at present and secures the 1,751-km long Indo-Nepal border and the 699-km Indo-Bhutan border.

Officials say that while having male officers as commanders of women units was not a problem but deputing women as leaders surely sends the message that they are second to none and can accomplish any task as good as their male counterparts.

Under the current exam of UPSC, there will be no cap on the number of women taking up these posts as the selection is based on merit.

After being recruited and commissioned as ACs, these women officers can rise and get promotions to become Deputy Commandants and Commandants of an operational company (about 100 personnel) or a full battalion (approximately 1000 personnel) in the SSB.(PTI)

CRPF jawans fight 'invisible enemy' in Maoist zone

LATEHAR/PALAMU: Jharkhand is a critical place as the fight is against an invisible enemy, feel CRPF personnel posted in the state that often sees Maoist violence.

CRPF personnel deployed in Latehar and Palamu, which fall in the Red zone in the state, say Maoists can launch an attack anytime and from any direction.

Deputy commandant (CRPF) B B Bhakta, who posted in Laat village under Maoist-dominated Burwadih block of Latehar, said guerrilla warfare is a different ballgame. "When the enemy is invisible, level of alertness should remain high all the time," he said.

After successfully tackling a Maoist attack on a poll booth in Laat on Thursday, Bhakta said the security personnel have to avoid paths through forests because of landmines.

"We keep changing our plan and briefs every now and then so that even if some information leaks the possibility of being trapped decreases," he said.

Hailing from Tripura, Radhe Shyam Das, ASI of CRPF Battalion deployed for election duty, has seen lot of violence in his home state but here he finds it better to move in groups and keep communication channels live round the clock. "I am in charge of radio services and am aware of the fact that a single minute of drop in radio service can cut off the team from each other when they are deployed in different corners of forest to secure the polling booth," he said.

SI Vikram Kumar, who was in Kashmir before coming to Jharkhand on election duty, had never been in a Maoist turf before. "Villagers are innocent here, they welcome us to their homes. This kind of warm reception by locals is unique here," he said.
