Chandigarh, July 30, 2025: Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) has deposited Rs.8.5 crores with Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) for deployment of CISF at Bhakhra dam.
Development has come after Punjab Government withdrew its consent for deployment of CISF. Punjab had made it clear in Board meetings itself that it will not foot the bill for deployment of central forces. Currently Himachal police looks after security at Bhakhra and Pong dams whereas Punjab Police has been deployed at Nangal dam.
Punjab is opposing deployment of Central forces at BBMB.
