i disagree with veeru on one point..........

it is known that wat kind of equipments they use.
if they are enough capable then y always in worst case army is called???

the better thing is ;;
1)provide them better ammunition
2)provide them training through army.

No one is claiming that our paramilitary forces are well trained and equipped. But believe me things are changing at a very high speed, P. Chidambaram is the best Home Minister after so many decades. He is sincere, dedicated and most importantly he means business that too result oriented.

As for the modernization it is going on a rapid pace and training programs are also upgraded with the help of army.

There is a very big difference with the army and paramilitary that is the army is trained to kill and that too with collateral damage but paramilitary should be trained to control the situation without collateral damage, their job is to assist the police.

It also sanctioned procurement of 34,377 carbines for the BSF at a cost of Rs 137.51 crore. The CISF, which guards airports, nuclear plants and other sensitive installations, already uses Glock pistols and will also procure 1,000 more such weapons at a cost of Rs 2.5 crore, the source said.

Global equipment suppliers who have recently been camping in New Delhi and displaying their lethal wares, estimate that the India market for internal-security related equipment will be worth a whopping Rs 45,000 crore over the period of next two to three years.

CRPF gets a new assault rifle

The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawans will soon be seen flaunting the ultra-modern X-95 Assault Rifles. The X-95 rifle, manufactured by Israel Weapon Industries Ltd, is being used in India for the first time. These rifles are presently used by NATO and 46 other nations.

For the time being, India has bought 3500 of these rifles. The X-95 is considered to be a good weapon for the armed forces on special duties as it is equally useful in long range combat as well as in close encounters. This rifle can shoot accurately upto 1000 metres. Weighing mere three kilograms, the rifle is comparatively lighter and is good for night manoeuvrability apart from being precise. Experts are of the opinion that this weapon is better than AK-47 Assault Rifle.

Shortly, this weapon would be used by CRPF personnel active in Naxal affected areas and insurgency prone sectors in the North East. Apart from that, it will also be used by rapid action teams and special armed forces. With the induction of this weapon, CRPF can now be counted among the forces armed with ultra-modern weapons.

Last week, as many as 40 CRPF weapon instructors — or Master Trainers as they are called — drawn from various sectors were trained to handle this weapon at CRPF's Central Training College, Neemach, Madhya Pradesh. These instructors were trained by two weapon instructors who came from Israel Weapon Industry Ltd. The training secession was carried out under the guidance of T Sekar, Principal of the training college, and Dinesh Uniyal, Commandant, CRPF. "These instructors would start training the CRPF jawans once their training is over. It will make them much more effective in operation areas," said Sekar.

As far as X-95 is concerned, it can be effectively used in open areas as well as in city specific close-quarter battles. T Sekar added, "In emergency situations we had been using AK-47 earlier, but X-95 is much advanced. This has been imported for the first time. It is very effective in counter insurgency and jungle warfare operations."

The weapon is not only light but handy too. As many as 30 magazines can be loaded at a time. It can be practically hidden underneath a jacket or a suit. The body is made of composite material and it possesses advanced mechanical system.

Wow...I think PC is the best home minister we ever had. But i also agree that for field operation at-least they should induct personnel of RR and other regiments who have experience of fighting terrorist. I know for any terrorist operation we have NSG. I think either NSG should be merged with this new organisation or they should have their own filed teams.

I think this recruitment will be in NIA.
