'Bad impact on force': ITBP rejects official's gender change plea
Hindustan Times Patna
|February 28, 2025
The Indo Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) has rejected a personnel's plea for gender change, citing a directive by the Directorate General (Medical) of the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) that such a move will have a "bad impact on the psychology and behaviour pattern of force personnel", people aware of the matter said on Wednesday.
NEW DELHI:
The ITBP headquarters cited the directorate general medical's opinion that the physical parameters are different for male and female personnel during their enrolment in the force that primarily guards the India-China border.
The order — dated February 25 — said that when such cases come up in the future, they should be dealt with similarly, citing the opinion of the directorate general (medical), the top medical office for all Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF). This is the first such case in ITBP.
