With its troops deployed away from their families, the CRPF has directed its field offices to set up 24x7 helplines, and quick reaction teams to assist their spouses and old parents in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak. The 23 sectors of the force have been asked to establish and publicise a standalone landline connection and a WhatsApp-enabled mobile number to be manned round-the-clock by an officer. Directions have been issued to take special care of those families where the spouse is alone with the responsibility of children and those where old parents are living alone.
