Centre today told state governments that paramilitary forces are not substitute to state police and should be deployed only in emergencies. <br/><br/>In a communication to all states, the Home Ministry asked them to set up a committee for examining requirements of central armed police forces (CAPF) by keeping in view the internal security, intelligence inputs and availability of central forces in nearby locations.<br/><br/> The Ministry said the central government has formulated standard operating procedures for deployment of CAPFs and according to it, the central forces will be able to meet more<br/>pressing commitments like guarding borders, fighting insurgency and anti-national operations which need immediate mobilisation of forces.<br/><br/> The Ministry said the state governments often make requests for deployment of CAPFs even for occasions where state should normally be in a position to take all security measures from their own resources by dispatching police and state armed police.<br/>' <br/>This came in the backdrop of tussle with the West<br/>Bengal government over the deployment of Central forces in Darjeeling. The West Bengal government moved the Calcutta High Court and got a stay against the central government's move to withdraw 700 CAPF personnel from Darjeeling, where an agitation demanding a separate state is on.<br/>
