Explanation:

Recently, the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) told the Union Home Ministry (MHA) that it is ready make its force “compatible” for the recruitment of transgender people as officers in their ranks. The CRPF communication refers to the April 15, 2014 judgment of the Supreme Court declaring transgender people as the Third Gender. Following this, Parliament passed The Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act in 2019. The CRPF is the second force, among the five asked for their views, which has given a positive response to MHA’s question. Earlier, the BSF said that it is ready to make necessary changes in the force for helping transgender people to join the force at Assistant Commandant-level. Sources said these recruitment would be made in the general cadre, meaning they would get to operate in combat roles and will eventually rise to command formations at the border and in law and order duties. Hence both statements are correct.
Note: As of now, there is no provision of hiring transgender people in the central paramilitary forces or the Indian Army. Hence only statement 1&2 are correct.
