CISF Jawans Forced to Give Guard of Honour, Defying Rules
Some CISF officers are being told to give special honors called a Guard of Honour to people who are not supposed to get them.
This goes against the rules, which say these honors are only for very important people like the President.
Even though the CISF headquarters told everyone to follow the rules, some higher-ups are ordering their subordinates to ignore these rules.
This is happening so the CISF can keep good relations with management, even though it's against the rules.
CISF jawans are reportedly being forced to give Guard of Honour to unauthorized personnel.
The practice of giving unauthorized Guards of Honour is reportedly widespread.
CISF headquarters sent a BPR&D manual instructing strict adherence to rules.
The Guard of Honour is allowed for specific high-ranking officials, not GMs or corporation chairmen.
IGs have been ordering unit commanders to ignore BPR&D rules, compelling them to offer the Guard of Honour.
