5 teams on lines of RAF to deal with flare-ups in Ggm: New CP

Gurugram's new commissioner of police Vikas Arora, who took charge on Friday, announced that five special teams will be constituted on the lines of the Rapid Action Force (RAF) to tackle emergent situations similar to the recent communal violence in the city that was triggered by a flare-up in neighbouring Nuh district.

Arora, who was earlier serving as Faridabad police commissioner, is the 11th police commissioner of Gurugram.

Stressing that there was no space for hate speech in society, the new police chief warned that people attempting to disrupt peace will be dealt with sternly.

Arora said that all cases related to the Nuh violence are being investigated and no culprit will be allowed to go scotfree. "Every zone will have a special team that will assemble within half an hour of a law and order situation. They will be trained along the lines of RAF personnel and special training will be given to them for crowd control. They will work as a cohesive force. For training these personnel, a centre will be set up at the police lines. They will also be provided with equipment for crowd control. We will form the company within a week and it will be ready within a month," Arora said.
