Re: Strength of CRPF
Central Reserve Police Force is the largest of India's Central Armed Police Forces. It came into existence as the Crown Representative's Police on 27 July 1939. Strength of CRPF It functions under the aegis of Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) of the Government of India. The CRPF's primary role lies in assisting the State/Union Territories in police operations to maintain law and order and counter insurgency. After Indian Independence, it became the Central Reserve Police Force on enactment of the CRPF Act on 28 December 1949. Besides Law and Order and counter-insurgency duties, the role of CRPF in the General Elections, held repeatedly during the past few years, has been very significant and vital. This is especially true for the trouble-ridden states of J&K, Bihar and in the North East. During the Parliamentary elections of September 1999, the CRPF played a major role in the security arrangements. Of late, CRPF contingents are also being deployed in UN missions. With 230 battalions and various other establishments, the CRPF is considered India's largest paramilitary force Current role and strength As of 2010, the CRPF is the largest paramilitary organisation of the country and is actively looking after the internal security of every part of India. They are even operating abroad as part of United Nations peacekeeping missions. It is performing a variety of duties ranging from VIP security to election duties, from guarding of vital installations to the counter-naxal operations.
