CRPF special force is CoBRA once again

The CRPF has recently come out with new directions which stipulate that only the nomenclature “CoBRA” be used instead of the “SAF” while referring to the special force. Having examined the change in nomenclature,the CRPF has said that “there is no ambiguity in the government orders /sanction and the approved nomenclature of the special force is CoBRA.”

Asked about changing the name of the force back to CoBRA,CRPF’s IG (CoBRA) Ashutosh Shukla said,“As far as we know,the name was never officially changed. The SAF was never made the name. We are continuing with the name CoBRA.”

While presenting the monthly report card of his ministry in March this year,Home Minister P Chidambaram had first referred to the force as SAF. He had also told The Indian Express at that time that he was not quite comfortable with the fact that a specialized strike force had been given an “animal-like” name and that a name like the Special Action Force appeared more apt.
