A law, however liberal, has to run a gauntlet of questions about its feasibility before it바카라s cranked into practice. After the Centre recently enacted legislation about the inclusion of transgenders바카라through the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act바카라in the paramilitary forces, among other areas, the CISF, the paramilitary force that guards over 60 airports and the Delhi Metro, has sought time to reply to the government바카라s proposal. The home ministry had recently asked for 바카라comments바카라 from the five Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) so that the UPSC can be intimated about the inclusion of the 바카라transgender바카라 category for this year바카라s assistant commandants (AC) exams. The AC is the entry-level officer rank in the five CAPFs 바카라CRPF, BSF, CISF, ITBP and SSB. Four of them바카라BSF, ITBP, SSB and CRPF바카라have expressed readiness to take transgenders as officers, following the principle of 바카라gender neutrality바카라.
The CISF has said it will 바카라discuss the issue in detail바카라 with its field commanders. 바카라Seeking more time바카라Šdoes not mean that the CISF is against the move. The force is committed to providing equal opportunities to everyone, irrespective of gender,바카라 PTI quoted an official.
바카라This is a watershed moment for CAPFs like a few years ago, when women were first recruited in constabulary and officer ranks. Transgenders will add to the rich profile of these forces. Also, if uniformed forces do not lead by example, how can we expect society to shed old inhibitions,바카라 a CAPF commander asked. It was analysed that initial issues of acceptance might occur, but like women gelled well as colleagues and commanders, it might be the same with transgenders.
