The EFR Crisis: Is the Glorious Eastern Frontier Rifles Facing Extinction?

In this video, we take a deep dive into the current crisis surrounding the Eastern Frontier Rifles (EFR), a force with a proud history dating back to the 18th century. Despite its significant contributions, including service during World War I and II, the EFR is now on the brink of collapse due to years of government negligence. With no new recruitments since 2010 and thousands of unfilled vacancies, this State Armed Police Force is facing an uncertain future.

We explore key insights from political leaders, including Darjeeling MP Raju Bista and Kurseong BJP MLA BP Bajgain, who have raised serious concerns about the lack of support from the West Bengal Government. What does this mean for the Gorkhas, Garos, Jharuas, and others who have proudly served in this force? Will the EFR be dissolved, or can its rich legacy be preserved?

Join us as we uncover the history, the current state of affairs, and the potential impact on the communities tied to the EFR. Don’t miss this in-depth analysis of a force that deserves more recognition and support.

Share your thoughts in the comments below, and let us know how you feel about the future of the EFR.

EFR is not only a force, it’s our family and we are connected with physically, emotionally. But now I don’t see the future of EFR
Government has to take fast initiative to open a recruitment as soon as possible.

Now EFR is only used for training purposes, though they aren't in the control seat but only as a trainer❤

Realised as a trainee from PTS salua

There r lots of our youths r still seeing, hoping towards EFR Recruitment

Efr is a force that has taken part and fought in historical battle phases of world war 1 and world war 2 . But present government is ignoring this force . No recruitment from many years. Only police vacancies had took place a lot . Earlier e.f.r goes to outpost duty with arms and ammunition but now with only stick .E.f.r has brave soldiers and they can deal any kind of situation like "a piece of cake" . Even the police take training from e.f.r . It's better that central should take initiative against state government

The bravest armed force in Bengal. Efr

[roycemarshall]

Whom to blame ? Its also our OWN people to be blamed . We have been ignored since 2005 ma’am recruitment that happened in 2010 was not because they had some sort of admiration towards E.F.R it was nothing BUT a political move just like a compensation towards gorkha’s asamese and bodo Community coz E.F.R lost 24 soldiers in an AMBUSH who do we think was the reason behind that OUR VERY OWN DIDI .THE MAIN VILLAIN IS OUR OWN PEOPLE YET THEY ARE STILL VOTING FOR T.M.C .

Few months back the gov mad an announcement to recruit 1000 new riflemen but looks like it was just an announcement as CM has Don
