Troop redeployment: J&K leaders seek clarification
The Hindu
‘These troops are returning from States where elections were held recently. They are being reinducted. It’s not new deployment,’ says IGP
Deployment of paramilitary personnel in Jammu and Kashmir in the past one week has fuelled speculations of the Central government pushing new changes in the Union Territory (UT), and several leaders voiced their concern on Monday and demanded a clarification from the government. Officials said 70 companies were “reinducted and redeployed” in parts of the UT in the past one week. It is the first time since the Centre revoked J&K’s special constitutional position on August 5, 2019 that the UT was witnessing such large-scale movement of paramilitary troops, mainly the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF).More Related News
