About 2,000 additional paramilitary personnel will be deployed in Punjab to enhance security as there have been regular inputs that some elements are trying to create unrest in the state, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said on Wednesday.
Mann said this after a meeting here with Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who assured him of all assistance from the central government.
"There have been regular inputs that some miscreants are trying to create trouble in Punjab. So I have request the home minister to sanction additional forces for the security of the state," he told reporters.
The chief minister said 10 companies of paramilitary personnel have already reached Punjab while another 10 companies will be approved by the Union Home Ministry soon.
One company of paramilitary comprises about 100 personnel.
Mann said the home minister told him that there is no compromise on the national security and it is above party politics and the central government would provide all help necessary to the Punjab government.
The chief minister said he has conveyed to the home minister about the supply of arms from across the border through drones and sought the central government's assistance to tackle it. Mann said that security at borders have to be intensified for defending our country’s security and sovereignty.
He expressed deep concern over the increasing drug and weapon smuggling from across the border through drone and impressed upon Shah to immediately provide anti-drone technology to state for foiling such attempts.
Sources said the security agencies have been put on alert and security has been enhanced in Amritsar ahead of the 38th anniversary of the Operation Blue Star.
The operation Blue Star was carried out by the Army to flush out terrorists hiding at Golden Temple complex between June 1 and 8, 1984.

The doctor has ordered him to go slow on pickle, he has cut down on his quota of vodka and now finds Charles Dickens boring but Ruskin Bond, who celebrates his 88th birthday on Thursday, is indefatigable when it comes to penning stories - quite literally.
India's favourite author has moved from his trusted typewriter to pen and writing pad, his appetite for writing seemingly as strong as that of a 17-year-old -- the age he wrote his debut novel "The Room on the Roof".
Since that first work in 1956, he has written over 500 short stories, essays and novellas along with more than 50 books for children. And there's plenty more from where those came from.
"In India, you don't run out of stories or material of stories because something is happening all the time. There is never a dull moment, not just in the country as a whole but in your own city, small town or village. Life is constantly in a process of change or upheavals," Bond told PTI in a phone interview from Landour.
"If you are living in Europe, Britain or America it is monotonous. Everybody is living a similar sort of existence, the same custom, the same language or the same way. Here we have different languages, customs, ethnicity or backgrounds. It's a whole different canvas. Also, I am a compulsive writer." Bond, who calls himself a prolific reader and compulsive writer, still writes for at least an hour every morning.
His latest book, "Listen to Your Heart: The London Adventure'', to be released on his 88th birthday, gives readers a peek into the four years he spent in the Channel Islands and England.
The fifth -- and final - volume of his memoir, it talks about how he muses over his loneliness, switches jobs, falls in love, befriends the ocean and relentlessly chases his big dream of becoming a famous writer.
Born in 1934 in Kasauli, Bond grew up in Jamnagar, Shimla, New Delhi and Dehradun. Apart from a few years abroad, he has spent all his life in India.
He lives with his adopted family in Uttarakhand's small cantonment town of Landour, which for years has been attracting fans hoping to have a glimpse of the celebrity author in a tea shop, somewhere on the winding roads or a fleeting look through the window of his home.
Bond said he read and wrote way more than usual over the past few years, particularly during the Covid induced lockdown when there was nothing else to do.
"Normally, I would have read three to four books in a month, but then over the last year I read three-four books in a week. And if it was a short novel or crime thriller, I would finish it in one day," he said.
The award-winning author did admit to a change in his literary tastes and said he now likes writing and reading short-stories or crime fiction over big fat novels.
"Now that I am 88 I can't read or write a big fat novel because I may not finish it. So I am working on shorter things. Like writing limericks, essays or enjoy reading crime fiction.
"I read a couple of novels by an old favourite of mine American novelist and short story writer Patrician Highsmith, then I like reading biographies also .. The unknown lives of celebrated writers have always intrigued me," Bond said.
Bond also said he no longer feels like reading the same kind of books.
For instance, the complete works of English writer Charles Dickens that he enjoyed as a boy is something he finds "boring" as an old man.
"I can't read Dickens because it's long and tedious, and has got too much description. I prefer short stories .. So yes the taste changes when you grow old. Some of the authors that I enjoyed when I was young don't give me the same pleasure now. I have to keep discovering new writers. But the urge to read is always there," he noted. Bond has received numerous awards and honours, including Sahitya Akademi Award for English writing in 1992, the Padma Shri in 1999 and the Padma Bhushan in 2014.
Having achieved so much in his life has the thought of retiring ever crossed his mind? He replied saying a writer like him who gets "no pension or provident fund" can never retire.
"My bank manager would tell me, 'Mr Bond, your bank balance has fallen very low this month -- which is something that he says very often over the years -- so it has to be replenished'. And the only way I can do it is by writing and getting published," he said in a lighter vein.
Grateful to his loving fans and kind family which fusses over him "like a child", Bond said old age can be tough if one has major ailments but he has been lucky that way to keep illness at bay -- that too without taking any serious effort to achieve the same.
"There are no restrictions. But yes since the doctor tells me to cut down on salt, because of my high blood pressure, I try to avoid eating too much pickle which I love.
"Also, like a good boy I have cut down on my two glasses of vodka -- one with lots of orange juice -- to one per day." Published by Penguin Random House India (PRHI), the 104-page "Listen To Your Heart", priced at Rs 299, hopes to be an "inspiration for aspiring young writers, a meditation on embracing fears, seizing every opportunity but most importantly living one’s dreams".

Ruskin Bond turns 88: what inspires one of India's favourite author to continue writing

Even at 88 years, Ruskin Bond puts his pen to paper everyday. He calls himself a 'compulsive writer' but what is it that inspires him to continue writing.

Multiple news reports quoting unnamed intelligence sources suggest that a ground assessment by the security establishment has pointed out that the Chinese army is building a second bridge on the Pangong Lake in eastern Ladakh.
The People’s Liberation Army had constructed the first one in January this year.
An unnamed security official attached to the Union home ministry told The Telegraph that the latest ground assessment has revealed increased infrastructure activity by China along the Line of Actual Control, including the construction of a second bridge on the Pangong Lake.
Sources told the newspaper that China was also ramping up its infrastructure within India-claimed lines on the strategic Depsang Plains and elsewhere, building roads and settlements for its troops.
Corroboration of the claims about a second bridge came from Damien Symon, a geospatial intelligence researcher at the Intel Lab, and Ladakh councillor Konchok Stanzin who on on Wednesday tweeted satellite images of what he said was the under-development second bridge.
In January, satellite images had suggested that the Chinese army was building an eight-metre-wide bridge within India-claimed lines over the Pangong Lake, which security experts had said would give China “a strategic edge”.

The district court in Uttar Pradesh’s Mathura on Thursday allowed a plea seeking ownership of the land in which the Shahi Idgah Mosque is built.
The Idgah is next to the Sri Krishna Janmabhoomi Sthal, which believed to be the deity’s birthplace.
The pleas were filed by Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Trust and other private parties. The verdict essentially means that the civil suit will now be heard by a lower court.
The dispute involves ownership of 13.37 acres of land which, the Hindu petitioners claim belongs to the deity Lord Shri Krishna Virajman. According to the law, deities have the right to own land.
Apart from looking into revenue records, the court will also have to decide the validity of a ‘compromise agreement’ between the temple management authority and the Idgah trust which was done in 1968 and in which the temple authority conceded the contentious portion of land to the Idgah.
Now, private parties and the temple trust allege that the compromise is not valid because the trust holds the land and the temple management authority had no power to enter into a compromise.

Calling out the West, India has said that food grains should not go the way of the Covid-19 vaccines as it voiced concern over hoarding, discrimination and the “unjustified increase” in food prices that pose a threat to the food security of many vulnerable countries amidst the war in Ukraine.
India also stressed that its decision to restrict wheat exports will ensure it can truly respond to those most in need.
“A number of low-income societies are today confronted with the twin challenges of rising costs and difficulty in access to food grains. Even those like India, which have adequate stocks, have seen an unjustified increase in food prices. It is clear that hoarding and speculation are at work. We cannot allow this to pass unchallenged,” Minister of State for External Affairs V Muraleedharan said here on Wednesday.
Muraleedharan was speaking at the ministerial meeting on ‘Global Food Security Call to Action’ chaired by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken under the US Presidency of the UN Security Council for the month of May.
The meeting came days after India’s decision last Friday to ban wheat exports in a bid to check high prices amid a shortage of wheat due to a scorching heatwave.
The decision is aimed at controlling the retail prices of wheat and wheat flour -- which have risen by an average of 14-20 per cent in the last year -- and meeting the foodgrain requirement of neighbouring and vulnerable countries.
At the meeting, India called out the West and cautioned that the issue of food grains should not go the way of Covid-19 vaccines, which were purchased by the rich nations in quantities excess of what they needed, leaving the poor and less developed nations scrambling to administer even the initial doses to their people.
“It is necessary for all of us to adequately appreciate the importance of equity, affordability and accessibility when it comes to food grains.
“We have already seen to our great cost how these principles were disregarded in the case of Covid-19 vaccines. Open markets must not become an argument to perpetuate inequity and promote discrimination,” Muraleedharan said, making a strong statement.
Although India is the world's second-biggest wheat producer, it has not previously been a major exporter as most of its crop is sold on domestic markets.
But Ukraine's wheat exports plunged after the Russian invasion. And with droughts and floods threatening crops in other major producers, commodity traders were expecting supplies from India to make up for part of the shortfall.
Before the ban, India had aimed to ship a record 10 million tonnes of wheat this year.
The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) had in the last week's notification said that wheat exports will be allowed on the basis of permission granted by the central government.
At the high-level meeting, India spoke about the issue of the wheat export ban for the first time in the UN since its May 13 announcement.
Muraleedharan said the Indian government has recognised the sudden spike in global prices of wheat which put “our food security and those of our neighbours and other vulnerable countries at risk.” “We are committed to ensuring that such adverse impact on food security is effectively mitigated and the vulnerable cushioned against sudden changes in the global market.
"In order to manage our own overall food security and support the needs of neighbouring and other vulnerable developing countries, we have announced some measures regarding wheat exports on May 13, 2022,” he said.
“Let me make it clear that these measures allow for export on the basis of approvals to those countries which are required to meet their food security demands. This will be done at the request of the concerned governments. Such a policy will ensure that we will truly respond to those who are most in need,” he said.
The minister emphasised that India will play its due role in advancing global food security and it will do so in a manner in which it upholds equity, displays compassion, and promotes social justice.
Ahead of Washington’s signature events on food security, US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield said, “We have seen the report of India’s decision. We’re encouraging countries not to restrict exports because we think any restrictions on exports will exacerbate the food shortages." "But you’ve – again, India will be one of the countries participating in our meeting at the Security Council, and we hope that they can, as they hear the concerns being raised by other countries, they would reconsider that position,” said the US ambassador to the UN.
Muraleedharan highlighted India’s “track record” of helping its partners in distress, saying that even in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic and ongoing conflicts, India has never been found wanting.
“We have provided food aid in the form of thousands of metric tonnes of wheat, rice, pulses, and lentils to several countries, including our neighbourhood and Africa, to strengthen their food security,” he said, adding that in view of the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Afghanistan, India is donating 50,000 metric tonnes of wheat to the people of the war-torn country.
India has continued its humanitarian support for Myanmar, including a grant of 10,000 tons of rice and wheat, he said.
“We are also assisting Sri Lanka, including with food assistance, during these difficult times,” he said.
“In keeping with our ethos of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’, (the world is one family) and our ‘Neighbourhood First’ policy, we will continue to assist our neighbours, in their hour of need, and stand by them, always,” he said.
India underlined that the global impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and ongoing conflicts, including in Ukraine, has impacted the lives of ordinary people adversely, particularly in the developing countries, with spiralling energy and commodity prices and disruptions in global logistical supply chains.

The meeting came days after India&rsquo;s decision last Friday to ban wheat exports in a bid to check high prices amid a shortage of wheat due to a scorching heatwave.

Calling out the West, India has said that food grains should not go the way of the Covid-19 vaccines as it voiced concern over hoarding, discrimination and the &ldquo;unjustified increase&rdquo; in food prices that pose a threat to the food security of many vulnerable countries amidst the war in Ukraine.
India also stressed that its decision to restrict wheat exports will ensure it can truly respond to those most in need.

&ldquo;A number of low-income societies are today confronted with the twin challenges of rising costs and difficulty in access to food grains. Even those like India, which have adequate stocks, have seen an unjustified increase in food prices. It is clear that hoarding and speculation are at work. We cannot allow this to pass unchallenged,&rdquo; Minister of State for External Affairs V Muraleedharan said here on Wednesday.
Muraleedharan was speaking at the ministerial meeting on &lsquo;Global Food Security Call to Action&rsquo; chaired by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken under the US Presidency of the UN Security Council for the month of May.
