The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has extended the deployment of 273 companies of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) in Delhi till October 31 for the second time, amid the possibility of “flash protests” by political and other groups, official sources said on Friday, reported the PTI.

The forces were deployed in the national capital earlier this month in the wake of protests organised by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP). The MHA directed the Delhi Police and the respective CAPFs on October 22 to coordinate the deployment, sources told PTI.
