CRPF Director General Gyanendra Pratap Singh has urged personnel of India’s largest paramilitary force to carry out their responsibilities confidently, assuring them that the leadership will fully support any genuine action taken while performing official duties. His remarks come amid the ongoing controversy over the use of pellet guns by Rapid Action Force (RAF) personnel during recent protests.
Addressing CRPF personnel, the Director General said officers and jawans should not hesitate to act when the situation demands it. He emphasized that decisions made in the bona fide discharge of duty would be backed by the force’s leadership, and that he would personally take responsibility for such actions.
The statement follows criticism over the deployment of pellet guns during demonstrations linked to the NEET paper leak issue. The incident sparked public debate and scrutiny over the methods used by security forces to control crowds.
Reiterating his confidence in the force, Singh encouraged personnel to remain focused on maintaining law and order without being influenced by external pressure or criticism. He stressed that the CRPF leadership would continue to stand firmly behind officers who act within the framework of the law and in the interest of public safety.
Officials said the Director General’s message was intended to boost the morale of CRPF personnel deployed in challenging operational environments across the country. The assurance reinforces the force’s commitment to supporting its personnel while ensuring that all operations are conducted responsibly and in accordance with established procedures.
