CRPF seeks feedback on restoring lance naik and naik ranks
The CRPF has proposed bringing back lance naik and naik ranks in its units across India.
The ranks were removed in 1997 and folded into other ranks.
Under the proposal, personnel could become lance naik after five years of service and naik after 10 years, with promotion to head constable planned after 15 years.
Currently, many CRPF personnel wait an average of 22 to 25 years for their first promotion.
The extra steps are intended to give personnel more chances to advance and improve morale.
The change may also help make CRPF service more attractive to former Agniveers, who will become eligible to join central armed police forces after completing their military service.
The proposal is not final: CRPF units are gathering personnel's feedback before it is considered further.
The CRPF is seeking feedback on a proposal to restore the lance naik and naik ranks, which were abolished in 1997.

What people are saying
The proposed plan will benefit personnel only if they receive promotions within a fixed time limit; otherwise, the entire exercise will prove meaningless.
These ranks should not be introduced just for their names.
