| Summary / Abstract (Note) | On October 29, the largest paramilitary force in India, the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), ushered in its 75th year. A new logo was released by director general Dilip Trivedi on October 28 to mark the diamond jubilee of the force which has seen several incarnations, identity crises and re-orientation of roles in its chequered history. One would have expected a little more certainty at age 75, but all that DG Trivedi feels confident about is being "the lead force for internal security," and now the "nodal agency for force mobilisation for elections". |
