Bill
The Lok Sabha passed the Central Armed Police Forces (General Administration) Bill 2026 by voice vote on Thursday as opposition members protested and walked out, demanding scrutiny by a Select Committee. The bill, cleared by the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday, is likely to undo a Supreme Court verdict directing the reduction of IPS officers' deputation in CAPFs. Opposition leaders criticised the move for undermining CAPF personnel's morale.
