The force is planning to enhance by seven days the number of casual leaves given in an year to its jawans and officials, up to the rank of Commanding Officer (CO), they said.
At present, the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) troops, up to the CO rank, get 60 days of EL (earned leave) and 15 days of casual leave (CL) while being in an operationally active area like Jammu and Kashmir, Left Wing Extremism deployment or counter-insurgency duties in the north east.
