| Summary / Abstract (Note) | One of the most uncomfortable questions that stare in the face of Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) is whether an IPS officer with a career-long experience in state police force can lead a central paramilitary force. Even within the central paramilitary forces, the tasks and objectives of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and the border guarding forces are different. Furthermore, among the border guarding forces, Indo-Tibetan Border Police Force (ITBP) functions differently than the Border Security Force (BSF) or the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) or Myanmar Border for that matter. So, shouldn't ACC consider the experience of the officer with a particular force before appointing him to its top position? |
