MHA seeks paramilitary forces’ views

New Delhi, November 27

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has asked for views and comments of all five paramilitary forces on the Seventh Central Pay Commission (CPC) recommendations.

In a letter, the MHA has requested the paramilitary forces — the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Border Security Force (BSF), Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) and the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) — to send their views on the CPC’s report to the ministry by December 2.

BSF's Director General DK Pathak today said, “Discussions are going on (in regard to the CPC’s recommendations). We have asked for the views on it from all our formations. At this stage it is difficult for me to say if we are happy or not. Let the reaction of the force come, we will compile it and send it to the MHA.” — TNS
