The Central Reserve Police Force has come under fire for its newly formed suicide prevention group, which reportedly left lower‑ranked personnel out of the initiative.
The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) recently established a dedicated group aimed at preventing suicides among its personnel.
The new unit, according to internal reports, is composed of higher‑ranked officers and specialists, while lower‑ranked soldiers were not included in the roster.
The exclusion has sparked questions among the ranks and observers about the inclusivity and effectiveness of the initiative.
Critics argue that a suicide prevention program should involve all levels of personnel to address the issue comprehensively.
