Srinagar: The paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF)’s anti-naxal Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA) would soon be deployed in Kashmir.

Reports quoting officials concerned, said, a contingent of Cobra commandos landed in Srinagar a few months ago and are currently undergoing training at a CRPF training site on the outskirts of the city.

“In the pre-induction training camp here, the elite Cobra commandos, who are trained for jungle warfare, are receiving training for urban and rural warfare.” The operating procedure in jungle warfare is completely different from that of urban and rural warfare,” the official said.

As per reports, the Cobra commandos are being taught in urban and rural combat, as well as how to operate in rural and urban regions and how to consider local social and cultural elements while on the ground.
