GURGAON: Gul Junaid Khan from Jammu and Kashmir’s Baramulla today led 85 of his colleagues as they walked the ‘antim pag’ (last step) to be commissioned as direct entry officers in the country’s largest paramilitary force CRPF.
Trained for 48-weeks in various traits of combat leadership and weapons handling after being selected as officers by the UPSC, the latest batch of these CRPF officers will soon be deployed for their first postings across the country beginning from the Left Wing Extremism-hit states.
“My first posting is Chhattisgarh,” 26-year-old Khan told reporters after he marched as the parade commander during the Passing out Parade (PoP) of these young recruits at the Central Reserve Police Force Officers Training Academy in Kadarpur here.
CRPF Director General K Durga Prasad took the salute. (AGENCIES)
