The
Central Reserve Police Force is an armed Force of the Union of India, with the basic role
of striking reserve to assist the State/Union Territories in Police operations to maintain
law and order and contain insurgency. Its role is that of a catalyst in maintaining law
& order, and returns to barracks once this objective is achieved. The force
is also being used for various police duties in various States.
It
is All India in character, both in deployment and in its composition. Due to its unique
capability to quickly adapt to various situational requirements, and also, to work in
perfect harmony with the State Police, CRPF has, over the years, acquired the distinction
of being perhaps the most acceptable Force, by the people and the State administrations.
Broad gamut of duties performed by the CRPF
are:
-
Crowd
control
-
Riot
control
-
Counter
Millitancy / Insurgency operations.
-
Dealing
with Left Wing Extremism
-
Overall
co-ordination of large scale security arrangement specially with regard to elections in
distrubed areas.
-
Protection
of VIPs and vital installations.
-
Checking
environmental de-gradation and protection of local Flora and Fauna
-
Fighting
aggression during War time
-
Participating
in UN Peace Keeping Mission
-
Rescue
and Relief operations at the time of Natural Calamities.
 |
Besides
Law and Order and counter insurgency duties, the role of CRPF in the General Elections,
held repeatedly during the past few years, has been very significant and vital. This is
especially true for the trouble torn States of J&K, Bihar and States of North East.
During the Parliamentary elections & State Assembly Election , the CRPF played a major role in the security arrangements. |
|
One of the
vital roles of the CRPF, which is not very evident, is guarding vital Central Govt.
installations such as Airport, Power houses, Bridges, Doordarshan
Kendras, All India Radio Stations, residence of
Governers and Chief Ministers, Nationalised Banks and other Government establishments in
insurgency affected States. The CRPF is ensuring the safety of the democratic
institutions, and preventing the take over of civil society by the militants, in these
highly disturbed areas. This contribution of the CRPF, though not very visible, is
nonetheless very vital.
|
 |
|
 |
7.5% of the Force is deployed for the security of VIPs mostly in
North-Eastern States, J&K, Bihar and Andhra Pradesh which include
Governors, Chief Ministers, Ministers, MsP and MsLA of J&K, Assam,
Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur and Nagaland, Tripura and Mizoram. CRPF is also
providing security (Static guard) at the residence/office of Prime
Minister of India, various Union Ministers and MsP and other dignitaries. |
|
17.5% of the Force is deputed for guarding the important installations of
Central and State Govts mostly in insurgency affected areas which includes
Secretariats, Doordarshan Kendras, Telephone exchanges, Banks,
Hydroelectric projects, Jails etc. CRPF is also deployed for the security
of Parliament House.
10
Coys of CRPF are deployed for the security of three sensitive shrines i.e.
Krishna Janma Bhoomi, Shahi Idgah Masjid complex (Mathura), Ram Janma
Bhoomi- Barbi Masjid complex (Ayodhya) and Kashi Vishwanath Temple-
Gyanvapi Mosque (Varanasi). 4 Coys of the Force are deputed for the
security of Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine, Katra, Jammu (J&K).
CRPF
is the only Para Military Force in the Country which has two Mahila
(Ladies) Battalions. After its training in March 1987, 88(M) Bn won
laurels for its work assisting the Meerut
riots and later with the IPKF in Srilanka. Personnel of second Mahila
battalion (135 Bn) performed creditably during the Lok Sabha elections
1996 in many states. At present mahila personnel are deployed in active
duty in Jammu & Kashmir, Ayodhya, Manipur, Assam and other parts of
the country where they are doing commendable job. In addition each RAF
battalion has a Mahila (Ladies) component consisting of 96 personnel.
|
|
|
Mahila
Battalion
With increasing participation of women in politics, agitation and crime, policemen have
been feeling handicapped in handling women agitations especially because even a small,
real or alleged misdemeanour on their part in dealing with any matter related to women has
the potential of turning into a serious law & order problem. To cope with such
eventualities the first Mahila Bn in CRPF, the 88(M) Bn was created in 1986 with HQR in
Delhi. The successful experiment of the
88
(Mahila) Bn and the ever increasing requirement of a Mahila component in dealing with
emerging law and order situation necessitated the raising of the second Mahila Bn the
135(M) Bn with HQR at Gandhinagar (Guj). in 1995.
A New CRPF Mahila Bn. i.e. 213 Bn. has also been raised at
Ajmer which passed out on 2nd August,2011.
The Mahila Bn. celebrated it’s Silver Jubilee this year.
H.E. The President of India, Smt. Pratibha D. Patil took salute of the parade.
Smt. Meira Kumar, Hon’ble Speaker of Lok Sabha honoured the achievers of the
unit which included Padamsri Ms. Kunja Rani Devi and the gallantry medalists. Sh.
Kapil Sibal, Hon’ble Minister for Communications released “First Day Cover”. A
Coffee Table Book was also released by Shri P. Chidambaram, Hon’ble Home
Minister. Smt. Sonia Gandhi, Chairperson NAC presented a trophy to the 88 (
Mahila ) Battalion.
Back
-
To rush to a place of communal incidents with 'Zero response time' and deal with such
situations with the dexterity and expertise, to be especially acquired by the Force
-
To render succour to the innocent persons ravaged by
riots.
Parameters
for Deployment
For optimum and
effective utilisation of Force, certain parameters have been laid down in the orders
issued by MHA:-
-
To be
deployed for short spells. Prolonged deployment at any particular place to be avoided
under all circumstances.
-
To be
deployed to deal with other internal security duties only during certain emergent needs
for short durations- and thereafter return to their base Hqrs.
RAPID
ACTION FORCE
The
increasing communal tensions and riots during the early nineties had been putting a
serious strain on the secular structure of Indian
Society. Consequently the Government took a well considered decision to set up a special
anti-riot force which could reach the place of occurrence with the quickest possible speed
and deal with communal riot or riot-like
situation in an absolutely objective and non-partisan manner.
The RAF was
raised by converting 10 existing CRPF Bns. Young
CRPF personnel with quick reflexes, maturity and un-biased views were selected and posted
to these Bns. Five Bns became functional during October 1992 while the remaining five
became operational in April 1994. The area of responsibility of each RAF Bn is
approximately 400 Kms radious from the Bn HQr. The special features of the RAF are that
each team is independently operational and mobile. They have a distinctive uniform and
have to act in zero response time. Each Coy has a Mahila component and additional
Para-medical staff for first aid, rescue and relief. In between spells of duty, RAF
undertake intensive familiarisation exercises in communally sensitive areas to familiarise
themselves with the area. To make bridges with the public, RAF also undertakes socially
useful work such as children education, adult literacy, tree plantation, medical camps,
hygiene education etc. and also adoption of villages for all round focused development.
RAF was recently
deployed in highly sensitive situations in Mumbai during Ganesh Utsava, in Karnataka after
kidnapping of Kannada film star Raj Kumar and in Malpura (Rajasthan) during communal riot
to maintain law and order.
COMPOSITION
OF RAF
The following
points were kept in view:-
-
Age
group of constabulary to be between 20-27 years and junior leaders to be between 30-35
years to keep the perpetually young.
-
Inclusion
of personnel already having a few years of service with qualities of direction and drive
to ensure that the personnel have the required maturity for the delicate duties required
to be performed.
-
A
composite character with fair representation of minorities and weaker sections to be
maintained by re-grouping and re-shuffling the personnel from other Bns of the
CRPF.
