With the West Bengal government asking for three more companies of central forces for Darjeeling, the Centre has decided to send two.
"The state government had requested the Centre to give three additional companies of CRPF to Darjeeling, but they have agreed to send two companies for the hills," Home Secretary Samar Ghosh told reporters today. Earlier, the Centre had withdrawn three companies of central forces from Darjeeling. However, considering the situation there, they have decided to send two, he said.
