The new interview dates have not been informed yet. “These interviews can’t be conducted in the current circumstances. The candidates will be notified when the interviews will be held.

Usually, the military aspirants are required to go through a four day SSB interview to get into the Indian Army. The first set of interviews was lined up for this week. The SSB interviews are a skill test of aptitude, personality and intelligence of eligible candidates. The army had also closed several courses catering to the officers — which were to start next week. Meanwhile, the Indian Navy and the Indian Air Force are also expected to postpone interviews. The development comes after the number of infectious cases increased in the country. As many as 147 coronavirus cases have been reported in India so far — and it is showing no signs of dying down. Recently, a 34-year-old soldier of Indian Army was also tested positive for the coronavirus infection in Leh.

However, the new dates haven’t been informed yet. The main exam result was declared on January 14, following which the interview dates were announced. The interview stage, which comprises 275 marks, is the final selection stage of selecting civil servants. The development comes after the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) directed all the educational institutions and regulatory bodies — including the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) board exams, university exams and entrances — to be rescheduled after March 31. “While maintenance of academic calendar and exam schedule is important, equally important is the safety and security of the candidates who are appearing in various examinations, as also that of their teachers and parents,” the official announcement <a href="https://twitter.com/ANI/status/1240312126998110208?s=20">said</a>. Recently, the Indian Army also deferred all the interviews and selection of officers in the armed forces, amid the Coronavirus pandemic. “These interviews can’t be conducted in the current circumstances.

The military aspirants are required to go through a four day SSB interview to get into the Indian Army. On the other hand, competitive examinations like JEE Mains have also been rescheduled. Earlier, the exam was scheduled between April 5 and April 11, 2020. “Certain competitive examinations like JEE Mains require examinees to travel to other centers and in some cases even to other cities, to appear in the said examination. Therefore, JEE Mains should be rescheduled and a new date will be announced on March 31, after re-assessment of the situation,” the ministry added. As many as 250 people have been tested positive for coronavirus in India so far — including five deaths.

After Indian Army, UPSC postpones civil services interviews due to Coronavirus

Imposing sanctions on Turkey for buying the Russian-made S400 Triumf anti-missile system, the US has reiterated its warning to India and other countries about acquiring equipment from Moscow. The Assistant Secretary for <keyword id="10433817" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="international-security-and-nonproliferation">International Security and Nonproliferation</keyword>, Christopher Ford, announced on Monday a series of sanctions under the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) against <keyword id="10433816" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="nato-ally-turkey">NATO ally Turkey</keyword>'s military procurement agency known by the Turkish acronym SSB and four senior Turkish officials. "We hope that other countries around the world will also take note that <keyword id="171985" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="the-United-States">the United States</keyword> will fully implement CAATSA Section 231 sanctions and that they should avoid further acquisitions of Russian equipment, especially those that could trigger sections," he said. India signed a deal valued at $5.43 billion in 2018 for five units of the S-400 anti-missile system defying the US. US has repeatedly tried to dissuade India from by the Russian system, while dangling the threat of sanctions under CAATSA and the incentive of an alternative anti-missile system. The US has refused to give a blanket exemption for India from the CAATSA, but it has continued selling arms to India. During President Donald Trump's visit to India last year, he and Prime Minister <keyword id="6354477" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Narendra-Modi">Narendra Modi</keyword> announced a $3.5 billion arms deal that would include 24 Sikorsky MH-60R Sea Hawk multi-role helicopters six Boeing AH-64E Apache Guardian attack helicopters. Washington also signed an advanced defence pact, the Basic Exchange and Cooperation Agreement on Geospatial Cooperation, or BECA, in October, giving New Delhi access to intelligence through satellite imagery and data for civilian and military use. Changing policy under President-Elect <keyword id="99719" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Joe-Biden">Joe Biden</keyword> on countries buying Russian arms may be complicated because CAATSA has also the support of Democrats, who are more antagonistic towards Moscow because of their claims it helped Trump win in 2016. The latest sanctions against Turkey come on top of the banning of Ankara from getting the advanced F-35 fighter jets. Ford said that the sanctions would stop SSB from getting export licenses for weapons and from receiving loans and that the US would also oppose loans from other sources to the company. In addition, four Turkish officials will face visa and financial restrictions, he said. At the same time, Ford said, "Turkey is a NATO ally, of course, (and) it is going to be close security partner of ours and we remain committed to that relationship." The US is at loggerheads with Turkey also on regional issues like Anakara's involvement in Syria and Iraq and elsewhere. Asked for the timing of the announcement of sanctions, which come 37 days before the end of Trump's term, even though Turkey had signed the deal with Russia in 2017 and began testing it in October, Ford said that as Turkey was a NATO ally and had contributed to NATO, Washington took time to carefully consider the action against Ankara.

Sources in the security establishment told that with the central government notifying the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act in December last year it is now essential to provide transgenders a "level playing field" in all avenues and services including combat policing. The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has also sought time-bound "comments", in favour or against, from the five paramilitary or Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) so that the Union Public Service Commission can be intimated whether or not to include the transgender category in the soon-to-be published notification for this year's CAPFs Assistant Commandants (ACs) exam. The AC is the entry-level officer rank in the five CAPFS of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Border Security Force (BSF), Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) and the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB). A senior CAPF commander privy to the development said the forces have discussed the "challenges and opportunities" that can come with transgenders in the officer ranks. "What we have found after preliminary analysis is that this is a watershed moment for the CAPFs like few years ago when women were recruited for the first time in the constabulary and officer ranks." "The transgenders will add to the rich profile of these forces. Also, if uniformed forces will not lead by example how can we expect other sections of the society to shed old inhibitions?," he said. It was analysed that there can be issues of acceptance among the troops in the initial phases but like women gelled well as colleagues and commanders in these forces, the transgenders too can, he said. Another officer said the forces have analysed that they will not have to prepare any additional infrastructure for transgender officers as all existing living units and toilets are gender neutral. "If a person of any gender has, what we call officer-like qualities (OLQ), then they can join the CAPFs on that merit alone. Also, all aspirants need to clear specific medical, mental and physical benchmarks for being recruited as officers in combat to lead their troops," he said. A third officer said the forces have conducted analysis of some civil organisations who have recruited transgenders and the feedback has been encouraging. "The recommendations of some of the CAPFs have been received and a decision will soon be taken after analysis. Once the gates are opened for any category of candidates, securing the job is absolutely on merit that is analysed by way of a written exam, physical tests and interviews," a senior home ministry official said. Once approved, the UPSC will advertise the option of ticking the transgender box, like male and female, in the gender column of the CAPFs (ACs) exams along with the estimated strength of officers required by each force this year, he said. The Ministry of Personnel, early this year, had also asked all ministries and departments to modify relevant examination rules to include 'transgender' as a separate category of gender for central government jobs. The legislation notified last year provides that no establishment shall discriminate against transgender persons in matters relating to employment, recruitment, promotion and other related issues.
