Center sends 1,150 para-military men to Andhra

New Delhi, Dec 24: In the backdrop the 48-hours bandh called by TRS, 1,150 additional para-military men were rushed to Andhra Pradesh by the Center on Thursday, Dec 24.

Home ministry official said that ten companies of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) were airlifted from the capital city including Jalandhar and Chandigarh and sent to Hyderabad to control the volatile situation in the state.

Andhra Pradesh will now have 38 companies against the earlier 28 companies.
