The Paramilitary force members are working more better and harder than the army people . There are lots of allowances for the army personnel. It was really shocking to know that the payment of a constable in the Paramilitary force was only hiked by Rs 2700/- after a period of long 10 years . The BSF ,CRPF and CISF personnel are doing an incredible job by securing the border areas , airports and each and every nook of the naxalite and terrorist area . The Paramilitary personnel put in great efforts for securing the country but in vain it is pain to know that the navy personnel and the airforce personnel are not securing our country as they are paid . further it is also intimated that the death toll of the Paramilitary personnel are much higher than the Army personnel. It is requested to please sanction Paramilitary allowances , hard area allowances to all Parmilitary force members to boost up their morale.
It is true that Paramilitary forces are working hard and they don’t paid as per their hard nature of work. They should be entitled to the all facilities like army, navy, airforce. And for them the I think the very first demand should be the officer of top three post must be taken form their own cadare not from the IPS. Now each and every force have the capability to hold those top position from their own cadare. The Indian Coast Guard is a paramilitary force but as it is under the MoD it takes officers from their cadare. If they are allowed to do this, then why not the others?
Having all that said I’ll also say that it is not true that navy and airforce is not working hard as they paid. Every force have their own risk factors and hard nature of their work.
