CAPF officers demoralised that Centre is not giving them their due, Samajwadi MP tells Rajya Sabha

Officers of the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) wait 10 to 15 years for their first promotions though they put their lives on the line during their service, Samajwadi Party MP Ram Gopal Yadav told the Rajya Sabha on Thursday (March 12, 2026).

Raising the issue during Zero Hour, he slammed the government for its failure to implement a May 2025 Supreme Court order to grant Organised Group A Services status to these officers, and to progressively reduce the deputation of Indian Police Service officers in the CAPFs.

“It is demoralising for the 13,000 CAPF officers that the government is not giving them their due,” Mr. Yadav said.
