The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), the country’s largest paramilitary force, has achieved a significant milestone by completing 12 consecutive months without any operational fatality among its personnel. The development marks the first such period in 47 years, CRPF Director General GP Singh said on Sunday.
Singh announced the milestone in a post on X, highlighting its significance as the force continues to remain intensely deployed across the country’s major operational theatres.
“A significant milestone in the history of CRPF – 12 consecutive months (One Year) have passed without any operational fatality in the force, the last operational fatality in the force being on October 30, 2025. This has happened after 47 years (last such period ended in January 1979),” the CRPF chief posted.
Officials said nine CRPF personnel were killed while performing operational duties in 2025, up to October 30.
