They said 519 companies of CRPF had been deployed in Jammu and Kashmir for counter insurgency operation, protection of vital installations and VIPs.
Of them, about 400 companies are in the Kashmir valley, the most affected among all the three regions of the state.
Sources said that 21 companies of the CRPF were recently withdrawn from the Kashmir valley. The process of withdrawing started after the August 15 speech of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, they said.
