Delhi Fortified: 10 CRPF Companies Airlifted Amid Protests
The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has sent 10 more companies to Delhi from Bastar in Chhattisgarh.
This makes the total number of CRPF companies in Delhi 55.
The extra troops are there because of student protests at Jantar Mantar and talks between the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and the government.
The government has agreed to some of CJP's demands, like giving money to families of students who died by suicide and dropping some legal cases.
But they need more time to decide about the Education Minister's resignation.
The next meeting between CJP and the government will be on Saturday.
