The Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) of India provide internal security and guard our international borders with our neighbouring countries. Earlier called the paramilitary forces, the CAPFs today play a critical role in maintaining the peace and security of the nation and operate under challenging conditions to fulfill these responsibilities. In the seventh episode of Police Chowki, Javeed Ahmad and Shrikrihna Upadhyaya discuss the origin and role of CAPFs, policy issues around over-reliance on CAPFs by state police, and attempts to rationalise the functions of these forces.
