Impressed with the performance of the Border Security Force during operation Sindoor, the Centre on Wednesday has approved the first-ever cadre review for group B and C employees, covering ranks from constable to inspector.
“The Centre has approved the very first cadre review of BSF Group B and C employees, spanning from Constable to Inspector and its implementation has already begun. The implementation will cover a total immediate promotions slate of 23,710 personnel. Total 8,116 promotion orders in different ranks have already been issued today,” a BSF spokesperson said.
The BSF is responsible for guarding India-Pakistan and India-Bangladesh borders. “This will be a significant morale boosting step by the Centre post Ops Sindoor for career progression within the cutting edge rank and file. The review is expected to improve promotion avenues from Constable to Inspector that will provide significant respite to them from existing stagnation, thereby enhancing overall morale and professional development of force personnel,” the spokesperson said.
An official said it is one of the landmark decisions of the Centre and it will surely increase the operational efficiency in the force. “The cadre review is expected to provide much-needed respite from existing promotion bottlenecks that have affected career progression for years in the 2.65 lakh personnel force. With this approval, avenues for advancement from Constable to Inspector will expand considerably, reducing stagnation and enabling a steady flow of leadership within the force’s operational ranks,” the official added.
