Title: Need to provide a special Central assistance package for strengthening & upgrading facilities to the State police in Arunachal Pradesh.
SHRI KIREN RIJIJU (ARUNACHAL WEST): Arunachal Pradesh is strategically very important and sensitive State but the State police is very poorly equipped and trained. It is receiving least support from Union Government amongst the North-East States for procuring weapons and machineries. The State police do not have vehicles to provide escorts and security protection to the VIPs. Even the State capital has only two patrolling vehicles to cover large areas for days and nights. I, therefore, strongly urge the Union Minister for Home Affairs to provide special financial package for strengthening and providing better facilities to State police force.
