February 04, 2014 18:16
In the backdrop of the Supreme Court's criticism of indiscriminate use of beacons, the chief of paramilitary CISF has taken the lead among police officers in the national capital by having the red flashing light removed from atop his vehicle.
CISF Director General Arvind Ranjan, who took over the command of 1.40-lakh personnel force in December, decided to remove the beacon from his official car soon after he entered office.
The vehicle, however, bears a blue three-star board indicating the vehicle belongs to a DGP rank officer and is escorted by a commando team drawn from the forces.
The move by the top boss has prompted other officials in the force, who include inspector generals and deputy inspectors generals, to take off the blue beacons from their vehicles.
