Junagadh, 9 July, 2014
The state Home department has moved Karai(Gandhinagar) based Gujarat Police Academy’s Joint Director Atul Karwal(IPS) to Junagadh to assist the district police during the Junagadh Municipal Corporation(JMC) elections.
There was a scuffle between BJP and Congress workers yesterday after Congress candidate withdrew his nomination form.
There was a feeling that the elections that are to be held on 20th of this month may witness some disturbance or violence due to bitterness among local politicians belonging to BJP and Congress.
Karwal has been therefore moved to Junagadh to ensure smooth run of elections. He will be camping in Junagadh till the elections are over.
