Why it matters

The Central Armed Police Forces are critical to maintaining internal security during periods of civil unrest. Increased deployment and operational strain mean that CAPF units must manage a higher volume of security tasks, from crowd control to enforcing complex restrictions. This sustained high-level activity puts pressure on resources, personnel, and logistical support systems.
