Hon'ble Union Home Minister,
With due respect I request your personal indulgence on the subject.Some points are mentioned under, which is creating frustation in border security force:
1. An officer in Border Security Force remains a Deputy commandant after putting in 15 to 16 years of service and officers in other central paramilitary organisation enrolled in the same year through same CPOs exam is either Second-in-command(2IC) or Commandant. However army officer becomes lieutenant colonel in 12 years and gets pay band 4 however BSFofficer is likely to become 2IC after putting in 17 to 18 yrs of service but he would remain in pay band 3.
2. Army personnel posted anywhere like in Army HQ Delhi are authorised full 60 days of annual leave, 28 days of casual leave and ration money. However personnel posted in BSF HQ at places like Bandipur etc in Jammu and Kashmir and similar places in northeast get only 30 days of annual leave, 08 days of casual leave and no ration money. Now few questions that BSF personnel are generally asking but not getting the satisfactory replies is causing frustration in them.1 Are we not staying away from our families?2 Do we require lesser days of leave to spend time with our family?
3 The courses in BSF are like Army courses and the course covers conventional war subjects to give support to Army but still, why are we not at par with army ?
4 Our BSF act and rule is carbon copy of Army act and rule which says BSF is an armed force but why are we not considered as an armed force?
5 BSF personnel do not have any alternate tenure of peace and field like Army personnel and remain in Indian borders or line of control during their full service period then why our allowances are less than army personnel?
6 In all the places of militancy and line of control BSF units are under the operational command of Army Brigades doing the same task like Army then why BSF is not at par with Army where BSF constable is junior after putting in 20 years of service to an army lance naik who has put in 7 to 8 years of service?
7 Earlier the Identity of a BSF personnel in their villages was of a "Fauzi" and now they are neither fauzi nor police. Why this tragedy?

ReplyDeletewe the bordermen are of no where . no body thinks about us. please help
ReplyDeletevery well expressed.but the same must be raised at all available platforms.
ReplyDeleteThough we may not compare Any L/Nk to any constable because some constables, due to several reasons retire as constables after putting 40 yrs of service, that does not make them senior to a person who becomes Hav or Nk or L/Nk in 7 years.
ReplyDeleteTHE GLARING ANOMALY:
Entry level Pay of Army Sepoy (Constable) is=Rs 5200+2000MSP,
