Separate Aviation Security Force |
Aviation security, in contrast to general security, is a highly technical task. Aviation security is to be carried out as per set standards, contained in Annexure 17 to Chicago Convention of International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). For international operations, it is mandatory for the State to enter into a contract with ICAO which binds the Contracting State to abide by the prescribed Standards of security to ensure safeguarding of all civil aviation operations. Further, which implementing the security, the provisions dealing with facilitation of passengers in Annex 9 to the same Convention have to be kept in view. This is possible only through a highly specialized, professionally competent and dedicated force. Ministry of Civil Aviation had recently engaged the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) expert team to study Aviation Security arrangements and Procedures in India. The objective of the project was to review the (i) restructuring of administration of the existing Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (ii) setting up of a dedicated Aviation Security Force (iii) to design a robust operational framework for aviation security, striking the right balance between Aviation Security and passenger facilitation, taking into account the various airport operation models in India as well as models in other countries, and (iv) to propose alternative mechanism. If any, to discharge non-core security functions in airports. The estimation of expenditure in creation of infrastructure for training the new force/recurring expenditure in creation of infrastructure for training the new force/recurring expenditure for maintenance of this force is being worked out. The average cost of the new ASF is likely to be much less than the cost on CISF, presently deployed at 59 airports in the country. An expert team of Consultants from ICAO was engaged in 2010 to study the restructuring of Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) and other aspects relating to aviation security in India. The ICAO study report was submitted on 26th August, 2011 which has been accepted by the Government and action on these recommendations has also been initiated. This information was given by the Minister of Civil Aviation Shri Ajit Singh in a written reply to a question in Lok Sabha today.

On lines of BSF- CRPF officers also move court on salary grievances
From Deccan Herald
New Delhi, August 31, 2012, PTI:
Alleging “acute stagnation” and “deprivation” of financial benefits in the force, sixty-six CRPF officers have petitioned the Delhi High Court for grant of better salary and service benefits.
A bench of justices Pradeep Nandrajog and Manmohan Singh have issued separate notices to the Union Home Ministry, the Department of Personnel and Training and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) headquarters seeking their response on the petition of these officers who are in the ranks of Commandants, Deputy Commandants and Second-in-command.
The step by the CRPF officers comes days after a similar petition was moved by the officers of the BSF, with both the forces claiming that non-implementation of policy measures is affecting their “morale and efficiency”.
Both the CRPF and BSF are country’s largest paramilitary forces and not only guard strategic Indian frontiers but are also deployed for a variety of internal security duties like tackling Left Wing Extremism.
The CRPF officers have requested the court to issue directions to the authorities to “extend the benefit of non-functional upgradation to the CRPF general cadre group A officers...”.
They have also prayed the court to categories them as members of an “organised cadre” which will ensure promotion and other service related benefits to them.
The CRPF officers, in their writ petition, state that undertaking these policy measures will ensure pay parity and social recognition. .

BSF officers move court over policy disparity
From The Firstpost
New Delhi: Unhappy with “acute stagnation” and deprivation of “financial benefits”, more than 100 BSF officers have petitioned the Delhi High Court against those who frame policies for them – the Union home ministry and the IPS officers who constitute the top brass of the border guarding force.
A bench of Justices Pradeep Nandrajog and Manmohan Singh on 14 August has issued two separate notices to the Union home ministry and the Border Security Force (BSF) headquarters for a response on the petition of these officers who are in the ranks of Deputy Inspector Generals, Commandants, Deputy Commandants and Second-in-command.
This is a rare instance of officers of an armed force rendering internal security duties approaching the court for relief as they claim that non-implementation of policy measures is affecting their “morale and efficiency”.
The BSF officials, who guard the crucial Indian frontiers with Pakistan and Bangladesh, are aggrieved that they are not being extended the “non-functional financial upgradation”, despite a 2009 Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) order in this regard.
The said upgradation, the BSF officials contend, will ensure pay parity and social recognition as they would get timely promotions.
“A total of 66 BSF officers are signatory to the first petition that has been filed in the Delhi High Court. Many more officers have sent similar signed representations. The officers have taken this step as issues related to their equitable pay and on-time promotions have hit their morale,” said Advocate Rekha Palli, counsel for these officers.
Sources in the force said the total number of signatories to the petition has gone above 100 as many officials from the field formations have sent in their representations.
The officers pleaded in their petition, “Despite the general duty group ‘A’ officers of the BSF dedicating their life in the field areas and sacrificing their personal lives for the organisation and the nation, they instead of being rewarded for their selfless service, are being deprived of even those financial benefits and privileges which other group ‘A’ officers are enjoying and hence they have no other remedy except to approach the honourable court.”
The officers said they “are facing an acute stagnation not only because of lack of adequate promotional posts but also because a majority of the important posts of the top hierarchy had been/are always held by deputationists (IPS officers), who have failed to take adequate steps for career progression of the cadre officers.”
“This is effecting the morale and efficiency of the officers dedicating their life to the service of the nation at the borders,” the petition said.
The 2.40 lakh personnel strong BSF, country’s second largest paramilitary after the CRPF, has made various representations to the home ministry but the ministry is still to take a final view on the subject, it said.
