CAPF personnel injured during operations will get full benefits till retirement: Union Home Secretary
Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) personnel who get severely injured during operations and have to undergo amputation will be allowed to continue in service till their retirement with all benefits, Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan said on Sunday (July 27, 2025). Mr. Mohan said the government will ensure the best medical facilities and technology available in the world for 'limb replacement surgery' for CAPF officials and jawans and it will be ensured that loss of limbs is corrected as far as possible. 'Government will also ensure a minimum financial package for such personnel, and they will be accommodated in the organisation,' Mr. Mohan said, while addressing the 87th Raising Day of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in Delhi. CAPF personnel have to adhere to certain physical standards for timely promotion and services. At least five CRPF personnel were grievously injured during the 21-day anti-Maoist operations on Chhattisgarh-Telangana border that concluded on May 11. Named 'Operation Black Forest', the combing operations were carried out in the Karegutta Hills (KGH). Hardships in the line of duty The Home Secretary added that a large number of CRPF personnel, including women, are deployed for law-and-order duty in Manipur after an ethnic conflict erupted in the State in May 2023. He said that during his recent visit to the State, he noticed that the personnel have to move from one location to another and face various hardships due to lack of adequate facilities. 'CRPF Director General has been asked to submit a report on the facilities required for the jawans, particularly women. Home Ministry will ensure best facilities,' Mr. Mohan said. He added that efforts are also underway to improve the living conditions at the camps in Left-Wing Extremism (LWE) affected areas. 'CRPF is playing a key role in ending LWE menace before March 2026,' he said, adding that 149 forward operating bases have been operationalised in LWE areas, forcing Maoists to retreat. The official said that LWE is on the verge of its end in Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal. He said that Home Minister Amit Shah mentioned at the National Security Strategies Conference on Sunday (July 27, 2025) that India's rising stature would lead to security challenges and the CAPFs would play an important role in thwarting those challenges.

Among those who have already shifted to the new office premises is Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan and his staff, said the official cited above. Other divisions and departments of the MHA - which are scattered in the North Block - have also begun moving their files, office equipment, etc. The new building at CCS is designed to accommodate various departments under the MHA umbrella, including Internal Security, Border Management, Jammu and Kashmir Affairs, and Disaster Management, among others, which officials said will help in better coordination of work. The MHA has been allotted around 350 rooms in the new CSS which includes large conference facilities, round the clock security arrangements and parking for the ministry officials, said a second officer. MHA will be housed on the fourth floor - in Room No 34000 to 34119; Fifth Floor -- 35000 to 35109; Sixth Floor – room number 36000 to 36119, according to the ministry of housing and urban affairs order issued last month.
