Around 7,000 Central Reserve Police Force personnel have been redeployed from Chhattisgarh, with units from West Bengal sent to Delhi in preparation for the CJP’s October 10 demonstration.
The Ministry of Home Affairs has ordered the transfer of roughly 7,000 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel from their current deployment in Chhattisgarh. The move is part of a broader security realignment ahead of a large public rally planned by the Confederation of Joint Patriots (CJP) on October 10 in the national capital.
CRPF units drawn from West Bengal have been dispatched to Delhi to bolster the city's law‑and‑order capabilities during the protest. Officials said the redeployment aims to ensure adequate crowd‑control resources while maintaining operational readiness in other parts of the country.
No details were provided about the exact locations in Delhi where the Bengal contingent will be stationed, but the shift reflects the government's precautionary approach to potential disruptions associated with the high‑profile demonstration.
The reallocation does not affect the overall strength of the force in Chhattisgarh, as other security agencies continue to monitor the region's volatile areas. Authorities have urged the public to remain calm and cooperate with police directives during the upcoming event.
