DARJEELING: Four companies of CRPF, requisitioned by the administration, reached the Hills on Monday evening. The forces have been brought to maintain law and order and to keep NH-31A, which leads to Sikkim, free during bandhs.

"They will be deployed later tonight," said Darjeeling ASP Kunal Agarwal.Two companies will be posted in Kalimpong subdivision, one on NH-31A, and one in Darjeeling and Siliguri.

The district police had said they don't have enough manpower to maintain order in the region during the strikes called by Gorkha Janmukti Morcha. A 27-day bandh, called by the Morcha, is on in the Hills. The administration is worried of a flare-up and wanted more forces.
