As the security problems worsened in Jammu and Kashmir following Operation Sindoor, there are speculations that the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) will have a huge role to play with new battalions being deployed.
Top Jagran sources said, 'About 20 new battalions (20,000 soldiers) will be formed in a phased manner. However, their deployment will not be limited to Jammu and Kashmir.' The proposal to form new battalions was raised last October, but it did not yield any results.
But the establishment of 20 new battalions falls short of the original demand placed by the CRPF. The induction of 20,000 more personnel becomes important in light of the changed scenario in Jammu and Kashmir, particularly after the Pahalgam attack.
