High security in view of BJP stir in Moradabad

LUCKNOW: Elaborate security arrangements have been made in Moradabad in the view of BJP's proposed indefinite protest infront of the divisional commissioner's office here from tomorrow.

"The district administration has been provided four companies of Provincial Armed Constabulary and one company of Rapid Action Force in view of the dharna from tomorrow besides it will itself make security arrangements there to ensure peace and order," IG law and order Amrendra Sengar said here.

BJP has alleged that the district administration humiliated party workers during the trouble in Kanth earlier this month and demanded action against SSP Moradabad, Dharamvir Yadav, for blaming the saffron party for the clashes in a controversial statement which the party claimed was unbecoming of a government servant.

Senior party leaders including its MPs and MLAs are expected to take part in the stir.

Meanwhile, the IG also said that 11 company of Central Paramilitary Forces have been demanded from the Centre in view of the upcoming festival season.
