CRPF holds transfers, postpones trainings in view of hostilities with Pak

NEW DELHI: (May 9) The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has deferred all transfer and posting orders and has postponed training courses for its personnel in view of the escalating military situation with Pakistan, official sources on Friday said.

The paramilitary force has also directed more than two dozen of its companies, comprising about 2,400 personnel, to be moved to Jammu and Kashmir for "bolstering" security of the border areas along with the BSF and the Army, they said.

The headquarters of the force, sources told PTI, has ordered that all transfer and posting orders be kept in "abeyance" and officers and personnel be present in their place of posting in view of the emerging security situation along the western and northern front of the country.
