Soon, ‘organised service’ tag to CAPFs, RPF

New Delhi, March 26

The services of central paramilitary forces and Railways Protection Force (RPF) may soon get the status of “organised” as the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has asked the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and Ministry of Railways to move a proposal keeping in view the order of the Supreme Court.

In a memorandum, the DoPT has asked the Joint Secretary (Police-I) of the MHA and the Joint Director, Establishment (GC) of the railway Board “to move a proposal for grant of organised status for implementation of the order of the SC immediately”.

It added while formulating the proposal, they should keep in mind the directions of the court “regarding deputation of IPS officers to Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) and RPF”. — TNS
