This will be the first time that two forces, Rashtriya Rifles and Assam Rifles, under the control of the Indian Army will be deployed in the Jammu region.According to the officials, the personnel for new deployment will be drawn from Manipur, where the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) will replace the operational area of the Assam Rifles. Two battalions of CRPF would be deployed in Churachandpur, replacing the Assam Rifles, they added.While Kuki groups are opposing this development, the government has decided to proceed with the changes in deployment, sources said, adding that Meitei groups have alleged that the Assam Rifles favours the Kukis and should be withdrawn from parts of Manipur.
