RAF offers a Division station in Rameswaram Island

Rapid Action Force (RAF) of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has offered to permanently station one of its platoons in Rameswaram , for the protection of Ramanathaswamy Temple .

An RAF platoon was here to carry out the routine ‘familiarisation exercise’ in the district, which had been identified as one of the sensitive districts in the State by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) following an IB report based on previous incidents, 

Mr. Raja said. “The platoon will visit every nook and cranny of the district during the week-long exercise to assess the situation and instil confidence in the minds of the people,” he said. After carrying out the exercise they would submit a report to the Ministry of Home Affairs through the commandant, he said.

This was a routine exercise carried out once in two years in the sensitive districts and it had nothing to do with the coming Assembly elections.
During the exercise, they would hold discussions with community leaders to foster communal amity and carry out flag marches in areas suggested by the district police, he said.
