Chandigarh, March 8 (SocialNews.XYZ) To ensure the conduct of free, fair, and peaceful Lok Sabha elections, Punjab has received 25 companies of central armed police forces for area domination and confidence-building measures, Special Director General of Police, Law and Order, Arpit Shukla said on Friday.
The 25 companies are drawn from the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), the Border Security Force (BSF), and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP).
