They will be assigned to Gandhis, Shah, Manmohan Singh
The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) will deploy women commandos on house protection duty for Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra; Union Home Minister Amit Shah; and former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
The commandos are also likely to accompany Ms. Vadra and Ms. Gandhi when they travel for election campaigns in Uttar Pradesh, a senior government official said. The CRPF trained 32 women in VIP protection duty and they are likely to be deployed in January 2022.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
