Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Wednesday said that around 2,000 additional paramilitary personnel will be deployed in Punjab to enhance security as there are regular inputs that some elements are trying to create unrest in the state. Mann said this after a meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah here, who assured him of all possible help from the central government.
“There are regular inputs that some miscreants are trying to create trouble in Punjab. That’s why I have requested the Home Minister to sanction additional forces for the security of the state. The Chief Minister said that 10 companies of paramilitary forces have already reached Punjab, while the other 10 companies will be approved by the Union Home Ministry soon.
There are about 100 personnel in a company of paramilitary forces. Mann said the Home Minister told him that there was no compromise on national security and it was above party politics and the central government would provide all possible help to the Punjab government.
The Chief Minister said that he has apprised the Home Minister about the supply of arms from across the border through drones and sought the help of the Central Government to deal with it. Sources said security agencies have been put on alert and security has been beefed up in Amritsar ahead of the 38th anniversary of Operation Blue Star. Between 1 and 8 June 1984, Operation Blue Star was launched by the Army to flush out terrorists hiding in the Golden Temple complex.
