Before the Panchayat elections, the Election Commission meeting is being held continuously for the last several days with other top officials of the BSF cum Army to deploy the central force in different districts of the state.

This consignment of Central Police Force is going to reach soon.
Demand for more central police force
At the same time, sources also say that the central government is not able to send such a large number of forces at once. That’s why the Center is not responding to the Commission’s letter. It may be noted that in the year 2013 also the Panchayat elections were held under the security cover of the Central Police Force. Then elections were held in five phases and 820 company was sent to the Central Police Force. But this time it has been announced that elections will be held in one phase only. Because of this, the central government is facing difficulty in sending so many forces at once.
