Shillong, Jan 10 : Some 777 acres of land will be needed to set up permanent base camp for the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in various places across the North East India region. Sources in the Home Ministry said that the Centre has taken some special measures to fight against terrorism and in this regard increasing the number of base of the CRPF is important.
It added that the threat of naxalism and terrorism in the country is a big challenge before the government and as a move to thwart this, the latest move of New Delhi to set up more CRPF bases has cropped up.
“Today terrorism is a global problem which is not easy to root out in a brief period of time,” feels a Home Ministry official. Keeping the challenge in mind the Centre has decided to set up permanent base camp for the CRPF in the country.
The central government is planning to allot approximately 1400 acres of land among the militancy prone states to set up the proposed base camps, out of which the lion portion of the land will remain with the north eastern states.
The centre has decided to allot 777 acres of land to the four insurgency prone states- Assam, Nagaland, Manipur and Tripura.
The Union Home Minister had repeatedly said about his concern for Assam and Manipur on various occasions.
In the present arrangement, the CRPF personnel used local schools and college buildings as their temporary camps while they are being deployed in any state.
This arrangement destroyed the whole educational environment, the government realized.
