Exclusion from R-Day parade pains officers of some CAPFs
By IndianMandarins- 08 Jan 2019
594The government's decision to keep
marching contingents of some Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) out of the
forthcoming Republic Day parade in the national capital on January 26 has
caused a lot of pain and anguish among officers managing these CAPFs. The most glaring omission is the
squad of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), which is celebrating its
golden jubilee this year. The about 1.70-lakh personnel
strong force, designated as the lead airports and vital installations guarding
security unity, was kept out of the iconic parade on national capital's Rajpath
last year too. Besides the CISF, ITBP and SSB
have also not been asked to join the ongoing practice drills on Rajpath. A government order reportedly
says that only five contingents of forces under the Union Home Ministry have
been included for the Republic Day-2019 that includes marching and band
contingents of the Assam Rifles, Railway Protection Force (RPF), Central
Reserve Police Force, Delhi Police, and the famed camel contingent and band
team of the Border Security Force.
