CISF to Secure Punjab Dams Despite State Opposition

The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) will inspect housing arrangements in Nangal on August 11-12. This precedes their deployment to secure vital Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) installations. The move comes despite ongoing opposition from the Punjab government.

Restoration work on the CISF contingent’s housing is currently underway in Nangal. The BBMB is pressing ahead with its plans, undeterred by the state’s objections.

The CISF deployment is expected to significantly enhance security at the strategically important Bhakra, Nangal, and Pong dams. This move is crucial given the increasing security concerns across the region.

This development raises significant questions about Centre-State relations in Punjab and the implications for crucial national infrastructure projects. The upcoming inspection will be closely watched, as it marks a key step in bolstering security at these vital dams.
