New Delhi, Aug 17 - With an eye to the 2010 Commonwealth Games, Haryana will raise a fourth commando unit among a slew of steps being taken to beef up security in the national capital region (NCR), Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda said Monday.
Speaking at the meeting of chief ministers on internal security, Hooda outlined the Haryana government's plans to strengthen the police system in the satellite towns of Delhi - Faridabad and Gurgaon.
'In order to strengthen the police system in the NCR, we have on Aug 1, 2009, created a Commissionerate of Police at Faridabad. This is the second commissionerate of police in the NCR after Gurgaon. We are taking steps of raising a fourth India Reserve Battalion as a full commando unit,' Hooda said.
Haryana has undertaken a drive to recruit 10,000 police personnel and has sanctioned new police stations for the 'vulnerable' NCR region.
