CRPF Completes 12 Months Without Operational Casualties
The CRPF has gone 12 months without any operational deaths, and its Director General GP Singh congratulated personnel on the milestone. The last operational death was recorded on October 30, 2025. The force has not had a stretch this long without one since before January 1979, which makes it a first in 47 years.
Context
The CRPF is a central armed force that carries out internal security duties in difficult areas, so its personnel face regular danger. Going a full year without an operational death is rare for a force of its size.
