                    CRPF  and  the  Need  for  Specialized  Communication
                    An overview of CRPF’s mandate in law enforcement, counter-insurgency,
                    and disaster response. The chapter underscores the criticality of secure,
                    real-time communication in complex operations and introduces the vision

                    behind establishing dedicated signal units.




                    Decision & Location: In 2023, the Ministry of Home Affairs and CRPF
                    Directorate General mandated the creation of 7 Sig Bn. The Khatkhati

                    Group  Centre,  Assam,  was  chosen  for  its  existing  infrastructure  and
                    strategic proximity to conflict zones in Northeast India


                    Birth of 7 Signal Battalion


                    Initial Infrastructure: GC Khatkhati allocated 4 residential barracks, PF
                    huts, and a parade ground—legacy assets from a defunct ATC unit.
