CRPF completes a year without a single operational fatality for the first time in 47 years

New Delhi: The CRPF has, for the first time in nearly five decades, completed one year without suffering a single fatality.

"A significant milestone in the history of CRPF - 12 consecutive months have passed without any operational fatality in the force, the last operational fatality being on Oct 30th 2025. This has happened after 47 years (last such period ended in January 1979). Provision of latest & contemporary hardware, better training & strategic planning along with focus on post-incident response including high speed evacuation of injured personnel to secondary and tertiary medical facilities has contributed immensely in achieving this milestone. It's specially significant since this has happened while we continue to be deployed and engage intensely in all the major operational theatres achieving significant breakthrough results," CRPF Director General GP Singh said on X.
