SHILLONG: The State will avail the services of 71 companies of central para-military forces for the Assembly elections, though the Election department had sought 76 companies.

Only 10 companies of para military forces have been deployed, mostly in Garo Hills, for the law and order duty. The Chief Electoral Officer P Naik told reporters on Wednesday that 61 companies of central paramilitary forces would arrive in the State after the Tripura elections on February 15.

Naik hoped that the election would be free and fair since no militant group has boycotted the elections.

Moreover, there was no disruption during the filing of nominations, he added.

The chief electoral officer, however, admitted that there were certain pockets in Garo Hills which are vulnerable that need attention.
