Believe it or not, our state government pays a sum of rupees 1,06,81,723/- for deployment of one company of Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) besides bearing the cost of transportation charges of the company. A document available with Imphal Times reveals that deployment charge for one company of CAPF per day is rupees 17714.3/- per day and amount should be deposited to the Ministry of Home Affairs, Govt. of India in advance.
Until December 1, this year the state government has been deploying the four companies CAPF in the state in the backdrop of the ILPS protest at valley area and Anti ILPS protest at Churachandpur area since August this year. Official source said that 2 companies of Central reserved Police Force (CRPF) and 2 Companies of Border Security Forces (BSF) was deployed at the cost of rupees 70,857.2 /- per day. But as the situation seems to be improved a bit with report of various state intelligence wing, the state government had discontinued deployment of 3 companies of CAPF (2 Coy of CRPF and 1 Coy of BSF) since December 1. But in view of the simmering tension 1 Coy of BSF has been extended for another 16 days starting from December 16. If the state government felt it necessary to then the same amount stated above ( 17714.3/- per day) should be deposited in advance to the Ministry of Home Affairs.
