NEW DELHI: Posting in remote areas and prolonged period of separation from family were among the main reasons for 7,395 Border Security Force personnel to leave their jobs in the last three years.
A total of 7,395 BSF personnel have left the organisation on voluntary retirement or resignation between 2005 and 2007, Minister of State for Home Affairs Sriprakash Jaiswal informed the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday.
Posting in remote areas and stressful working conditions, prolonged period of separation from family, personal and domestic compulsions, perceived inadequate compensation and availability of alternative employment nearer home are the main reasons for this phenomenon, he said.
Asked whether the sanctioned strength of 2,10,261 personnel for BSF is adequate, he said, the requirement of personnel for guarding the borders are reviewed from time to time and augmentation of the force is approved by the government whenever required.
