The Home Ministry on Friday said the deployment of paramilitary forces in Jammu and Kashmir was based on the security situation there and requirements of rotation, and such things are not discussed in the public domain.
“Based on the assessment of internal security situation, training requirements, the need for paramilitary troops to be rotated for rest and recuperation, induction and de-induction of central forces is a continuous and dynamic process,” sources said.
Sources added 100 companies had been ordered for deployment about a week ago, which are in the process of reaching their destinations. This has apparently led to speculations of induction of additional forces.

They further added it has never been the practice to discuss in public domain the details of deployment and movement of paramilitary forces deployed in a particular theatre.
Meanwhile, over 280 companies of security forces are in the process of being deployed in the Kashmir valley, officials aware of the development said on Thursday.
Earlier, the Centre had ordered the deployment of about 10,000 central forces personnel to Kashmir in order to strengthen counter-insurgency operations and law and order duties.
