Troop deployment in J&K based on requirements: MHA

Home Ministry has said the deployment of paramilitary forces in Jammu and Kashmir was based on requirements of rotation, and that such things are not discussed in the public domain. 

Sources in the ministry said 100 companies of central forces were ordered for deployment in the state about a week ago and they are in the process of reaching their destinations. 

The need for paramilitary troops to be rotated for forces is a continuous and dynamic process



based on an assessment of internal security situation and training requirements. 

Sources said it has never been the practice to discuss in the public domain the details of deployment and movement of paramilitary forces deployed in a particular theatre. 

The home ministry's response came after reports suggested that 28,000 additional troops are in the process of deployment in Jammu and Kashmir.
