According to sources, the Union Home Minister will review the security arrangements ahead of Amarnath Yatra and the proposed assembly elections. CRPF Raising Day is marked on the day when in 1950 the then Home Minister, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel presented colours to the CRPF after the CRPF Act was enacted and the force rechristened to its present name. The CRPF was raised in 1939 as the Crown Representative’s Police.
