Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) to Retain VIP Security

New Delhi: An order issued two years ago with then Home Minister Rajnath Singh’s consent is almost on the verge of being “withdrawn” by incumbent Amit Shah who seems averse to hand over CRPFs VIP security responsibilities to the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF).

In a decision taken on Nov. 23, 2017, the Home Ministry had decided that only CISF and NSG would provide security for VIPs.

After the order, the CRPF and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police were to be handed over the security baton for close to 150 protectees to CISF by the end of 2018. (IANS)
