OMG 60,000 vacancies in Paramilitary forces
OMG 60,000 Vacancies In Paramilitary Forces. The central paramilitary forces have around 60,000 vacancies to fill, with Border Security Force (BSF) topping the list with 43 per cent of them due to retirement, resignation and new raisings displaying the pathetic under staffing of the forces on the Indo-pak and Indo-Bangla borders.
The central paramilitary forces have around 60,000 vacancies to fill, with Border Security Force (BSF) topping the list with 43 per cent of them due to retirement, resignation and new raisings displaying the pathetic under staffing of the forces on the Indo-pak and Indo-Bangla borders.
As on January 31, the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), BSF, Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) and Assam Rifles together had 59,394 vacancies, including 7,081 for women personnel, says a Union Home Ministry spokesman.
According to latest statistics, the BSF which guards the Indo-Pak and Indo-Bangladesh borders, has over 2.4 lakh personnel has the highest number of vacancies of 25,749, among which 186 are for gazetted officers, 1,014 for subordinate officers, and 4,876 for women personnel.
The CRPF, the main anti-Maoist force with a strength of over 3.1 lakh, has 16,710 vacancies, while the 1.20-lakh-strong CISF has 5,737 vacancies.The ITBP, which guards the Indo-China border, has 3,213 vacancies out of a total strength of over 80,000. Lack of timely action to fill up the vacancies, non-joining of candidates selected for the post are cited some reasons for the huge vacancies.
Another worry for the security establishment is the number of requests for voluntary retirement and resignation. In 2015 so far, 306 personnel took VRS, while 118 put in papers. The figures for 2014 were 5,834 and 1,971, respectively. In last 3 years, almost 40 percent of the force sought VRS.
