New Delhi: Home Minister Amit Shah has approved additional deployments of forces in Jammu and Kashmir to boost law and order and counter-insurgency operations and as part of this plan 100 additional companies of CAPFs will be deployed, reported “Times of India”.
Out of 100, 50 companies will be deployed from the CRPF, followed by 10 from BSF, 30 from SSB and 10 from ITBP.
This development comes just a few days after National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval visited Kashmir to review the security arrangements where he had meetings with top officers of security forces and intelligence officers in Srinagar.
Rumours are rife that the Narendra Modi-led BJP government is likely to scrap Articles 370 and 35A within the first 100 days of its governance. Reacting over this issue, former J&K CM Omar Abdullah tweeted: “It’s surprising, to say the least, that instead of calming tempers and reassuring people in the Valley, a large section of the administration is busy trying to scare people to expect massive unrest and trouble after August 15.”
“It was in the pipe-line and today we have got the formal approval. The additional forces are for the maintaining law and order and to strengthen the counter insurgency grid in the State,” he said, wishing not to be named.
