The NHRC recorded that the state asked the Centre on 27 October for CRPF for three months, that the Centre replied on 5 November that it could not spare the force because of Assembly elections in other states, and that it ordered six CRPF companies on 11 November. The companies entered Nandigram and began flag marches on 12 November. The Telegraph, citing Union home ministry sources, reported that the CRPF director-general told the Centre the force was let in only after CPI(M) cadres had taken the area. [1][2]
