The deployment of BSF and Punjab police personnel in uniform in and around the Chandigarh venue of the marriage of BSF IG P S Sandhu on November 19 is viewed with concern. Some officials feel that if he at all needed help for organizing one of the most important events in a father's life, he should have used discretion and deployed the personnel in civvies. Times have changed and it is felt in official circles that this kind of display of official authority is no longer appreciated by the general public.
However, it is also likely that, since BSF DG and several other dignitaries were attending the function, the deployment of uniformed personnel followed the protocol. At such gatherings, the security factor can't be simply overlooked.
