Civilian killings: 5K additional CAPF men deployed in Kashmir tribuneindia.com

Amid a spike in targeted civilian killings by terrorists in Kashmir, over 5,500 additional Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) personnel have been sent to the Valley, officials said on Tuesday. The fresh companies were moved as part of the strategy of “enhancing security and visibility” of the forces on the ground following the killings. The Union Home Ministry had last month directed that about 55 fresh companies of the central forces should be deployed in Kashmir. The last five companies of this lot will be in position by next week, they said.
