About Central Zone


The Central Zone came into existence on 7th August, 2009 at Raipur, Chhattisgarh, with the primary objective of coordinating the operational activities of CRPF involved in facing the challenge of Left Wing Extremism in Central India predominantly in Chhattisgarh and neighboring states of West Bengal, Jharkhand, Bihar and Odisha where CRPF has been mandated to counter the formidable threats posed by Naxalites.

Headquarter of Central Zone was established at Kolkata on 23rd July, 2010. The Zone has 8 Sectors, 24 Ranges, 19 Group Centres, 92 adm Battalions & 96 ops Battalions, 9 Composite Hospitals, 2 CWS, 1 AWS, 2 CTCs, 3 RTCs, 1 CIAT.

Brave and dedicated men and officers of CRPF have worked tirelessly in remotest and inhospitable terrains and have achieved major successes in containing the threat posed by anti national elements and innumerable times have made the supreme sacrifices. 

 CRPF is also providing security to three extremely sensitive shrines of India i.e. Krishna Janam bhoomi-Shahi Idgah Masjid Complex at Mathura, Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid Complex at Ayodhya and Kashi Vishwnath Temple-Gyanvapi Mosque at Varanasi.
