have been deployed across the Commissionerate to ensure peaceful polling across the Thane police commissionerate.

paramilitary forces

have been deployed, including 6 companies of the State Armed Police Force and 14 companies of the Central Armed Police Force from Tamil Nadu and other parts of the state. Each company has 100 jawans who will be fanned out on the polling stations which requires extra attention.
