<h1>Punjab Assembly rejects Centre's CISF deployment at Bhakra-Nangal dam, refuses Rs 49 crore annual cost burden</h1> The Punjab Assembly unanimously passed a resolution opposing the Centre's proposed deployment of CISF personnel at the Bhakra-Nangal dam project. The state government declared it will not bear any financial burden from such deployment, estimated at Rs 49.32 crore annually. The Chief Minister argued that Punjab Police is capable of protecting the dams and has successfully managed security for 70 years. The resolution criticized the Bhakra Beas Management Board, stating Punjab holds 60% share but the board works against state interests. Officials questioned the necessity of CISF deployment when Punjab Police already handles security at border dams with more serious security concerns.
