CAPF constable who meets the eligibility criteria, will thus be conferred the honorary rank of head constable, a head constable that of assistant sub-inspector, an assistant sub-inspector of sub-inspector and a sub-inspector of inspector, upon retirement. In case of Assam Rifles, a rifleman will retire as havildar, a havildar as warrant officer, a warrant officer as naib subedar and a naib subedar as subedar.
To be conferred the honorary rank upon retirement, the CAPF or Assam Rifles personnel must meet all promotion criteria at the time of retirement and have a good and clean service record. The evaluation of the personnel's Annual Performance Appraisal Report for the last 5 years must be at least 'good' and they must not have received any major punishment in the five years prior to retirement. Also, the personnel's integrity must be beyond doubt, with approval from the departmental inquiry and vigilance (DE/Vigilance) being mandatory.
The honorary rank shall be granted based on the recommendation of the concerned commanding officer and conferred on the day of retirement. No financial or pension benefits shall be admissible along with the honorary rank, which will only be granted where the rank to be conferred exists within the category to which the personnel belong. Granting the honorary rank shall not affect the personnel's inter-se seniority, said the home ministry.

PM Modi to inaugurate world's highest railway bridge in Jammu & Kashmir on June 6
NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the world's highest railway bridge—the Chenab Bridge—in Jammu and Kashmir on June 6, marking a historic moment for India's infrastructure. Dr Jitendra Singh, Minister in charge of the Prime Minister's Office, confirmed the development on Tuesday and said, 'PM Modi will inaugurate the Chenab Bridge on June 6, which [is] billed to be a proud moment for India and Jammu and Kashmir.' The Chenab railway bridge, built across the River Chenab, is part of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Railway Link (USBRL), a key connectivity project in the region. Dr Singh said the bridge has been constructed to withstand nature's toughest tests and is set to be an engineering marvel. In his first visit to the Union Territory following Operation Sindoor, the Prime Minister will also flag off the Vande Bharat train between Katra and Kashmir. This will be the first Vande Bharat service in the region, and preparations are in full swing to ensure a smooth launch. Modi is also scheduled to address a public rally in Katra and inspect the Chenab Bridge during his visit. The original inauguration was planned for April 25 but had to be cancelled due to adverse weather conditions. The upcoming event is seen as part of a larger celebration of Narendra Modi's 11 years as Prime Minister, which will be marked on June 9. According to sources, the government is preparing for a nationwide outreach campaign to highlight key achievements during his tenure. Meanwhile, the local administration in Katra is working closely with Indian Railways to put all security and logistical arrangements in place ahead of the Prime Minister's visit.

BJP's Sankalp to Siddhi campaign to begin this week
Nagpur: BJP's state working president Ravindra Chavan on Tuesday held meetings with Vidarbha-based party officials as part of their nationwide campaign "Sankalp Se Siddhi" which begins this week. This campaign will cover events ranging from environment day to yoga day to marking the anniversary of the Emergency imposed during Indira Gandhi's regime. Addressing the media in Nagpur, Chavan said, "Under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi, India has grown from strength to strength. We have now become the fourth largest economy of the world and will soon rise higher. As part of our campaign, we will be organizing multiple events to ensure that this message reaches a wider audience." "We have around 80 organizational districts in the entire state. Of this, 19 organizational districts are based in Vidarbha. Today's workshop was held specifically for office bearers of these Vidarbha-based organizational districts," Chavan added. The party also has various cells, representing different sections of the society as well as communities. Even office bearers from these cells were part of the workshop held on Tuesday. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Conheça o Alarme com Sirene que afasta os Ladrões com 40% Off Verisure Saiba Mais Undo Regarding the anniversary of the Emergency, Chavan said that it was a Black Day for the country. "We must ensure that nobody forgets what happened. PM Narendra Modi has always honoured those who raised their voice against the Emergency and upheld democratic values," Chavan said. The slew of events which the party has planned, will be keeping its members on their toes. This involvement of party cadres in various activities is seen by some as a strategy to keep the outfit in poll readiness. However, BJP leaders disagree saying the party organizes such campaigns to raise public related issues. "We have International Yoga Day coming up, then there's Environment Day. We are the only party which takes the initiative to involve the public in such issues," said a Nagpur-based party member.
