BSF DIG Challenges Officer Practices in Delhi High Court
Imagine soldiers, who are supposed to protect the borders, are instead doing housework for their officers.
A BSF officer is taking this issue to court, saying it's wrong.
He claims soldiers are being taken away from important duties to care for officers' pets and do other chores.
He says this wastes resources, especially since many positions are unfilled.
The officer wants the court to stop this practice because it affects national security and wastes money.
A BSF DIG filed a plea in Delhi High Court regarding misuse of CAPF personnel.
Soldiers are allegedly assigned to domestic duties at officers' residences.

The plea notes over 83,000 vacant posts across CAPFs and Assam Rifles.
