Centre Deploys 20 Additional CRPF Companies in Delhi Amid CJP Protests

New Delhi: The Centre has decided to deploy 20 more companies of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in the national capital to reinforce security amid continuing protests by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), demonstrations by various political groups, and the ongoing Monsoon Session of Parliament, officials said on Wednesday.

According to reports, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) issued the deployment order late Tuesday, after which CRPF personnel began being airlifted from Kolkata to Delhi.

According to a PTI report, all 20 CRPF companies are being transported from Kolkata to assist the Delhi Police in maintaining law and order during the ongoing CJP agitation, political demonstrations, and Parliament proceedings.

The latest deployment comes on top of the nearly 30 CRPF companies, including personnel from the specialised Rapid Action Force (RAF), that have already been stationed in Delhi to support the city police during the CJP protests and the Monsoon Session of Parliament, which commenced on July 20.
