mid escalating threat to the state’s security from across the bor- Ader and several cases of drone from across the border ven- turing in the Indian territory, Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Tuesday evening asked the Union Home Minister Amit Shah to urgently provide 25 companies of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) and anti-drone gadgets for the Border Security Force (BSF) for protection from Pak-backed terror forces.Citing the recent heavy influx of weapons, hand-grenades, and IEDs into the State, with Pakistan’s ISI also raising the ante ahead of the Independence Day and in the run-up to the Punjab Assembly polls, the Chief Minister told Shah that the security sit- uation was grave and needed the Centre’s immediate intervention. Capt Amarinder, who met Shah in the national capital, sought CAPF deployment for Amritsar, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Mohali, Patiala, Bathinda, Phagwara, and Moga, as well as anti-drone technology for the BSF deployed at the borders.He pointed to the potent threat to the security of vital infrastructure or installations and public meet- ings or events being attended by “highly threatened individuals”.Citing inputs from the central and state agencies, corroborated by disclo- sures made by arrested terrorists, Capt Amarinder said that poten- tial individual and mass indiscriminate targets include trains, buses, and Hindu temples, prominent Kisan leaders (specific inputs about five such farmer leaders had been received but they had refused to take security offered by Punjab and Haryana police), RSS shakhas or offices, RSS, BJP or Shiv Sena leaders based in Punjab, deras, Nirankari Bhawans, and Samagams. &' () +"(, (--" ../010.
