CRPF Director General (DG) Gyanendra Pratap Singh announced this during the 86th Raising Day event of the force held in this historic Madhya Pradesh town which is the ‘birthplace’ of about 3.25 lakh strong world’s largest paramilitary force.
Shah officiated as the chief guest of the event. According to the CRPF chief, the futuristic unit will be used to enhance operational activities of the force in the UT.
A senior officer said the CoBRA unit will be tasked to undertake operations in the forested areas of Jammu and Kashmir including in the Jammu region where a number of terrorist incidents have taken place in the recent past.
In 2023, some CoBRA companies were sent to the Kashmir valley for training purposes but they were not deployed for any action.
