Q. With reference to the Central Armed Police Forces (General Administration) Bill, 2026, consider the following statements:

  1. It provides a uniform framework for recruitment and service conditions of officers in CAPFs.
  2. All Director General (DG) and Special DG posts in CAPFs are to be filled through deputation.
  3. It completely abolishes deputation of officers from the Indian Police Service to CAPFs.

Select the correct answer:

A. 1 and 2 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3


Correct Answer: A

Statements 1 and 2 are correct. The Bill introduces a standardized administrative framework and mandates full deputation for top posts (DG & Special DG). Statement 3 is incorrect because the Bill actually increases reliance on IPS deputation, rather than abolishing it.

Good Friday : Crucifixion of Jesus Christ

Good Friday is a significant Christian observance commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary. It is observed during Holy Week, two days before Easter Sunday, and is considered a day of mourning, reflection, and prayer.


Significance

  • Marks the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for humanity’s sins.
  • Symbolizes love, forgiveness, and redemption in Christianity.
  • Considered a solemn day, despite being called “Good,” as it led to the hope of resurrection on Easter.

Amaravati Declared Permanent Capital of Andhra Pradesh

Amaravati has officially been declared the permanent capital of Andhra Pradesh after Parliament passed the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2026 on April 2, 2026. This historic decision ends over a decade of uncertainty since the state’s bifurcation in 2014.


Background

  • 2014: Andhra Pradesh was bifurcated, creating Telangana. Hyderabad was retained as Telangana’s capital, while Andhra Pradesh needed a new capital.
  • 2015: Amaravati was proposed as the capital by then CM N. Chandrababu Naidu, envisioned as a modern, riverfront city.
  • 2019–2024: Political shifts led to proposals for three capitals (Visakhapatnam, Amaravati, and Kurnool), sparking protests and legal battles.
  • 2024: The Amaravati project was revived after TDP returned to power.
  • 2026: Parliament passed the Amendment Bill, giving Amaravati exclusive and permanent capital status.

  • Enhances protection against fraud and boosts trust in digital systems.

3. 🆔 New PAN Card Rules
