After more than 1,400 CRPF employees left the nation’s most significant symbol of democracy on Monday, more than 3,300 CISF officers will assume full responsibility for counterterrorism and anti-sabotage security responsibilities at the Parliament complex.
The CRPF’s Parliament Duty Group (PDG) cleared the complex on Friday of all its administrative and operational equipment, including vehicles, weapons, and commandos. Its commander, a Deputy Inspector General (DIG)-rank officer, then turned over all the security points to the incoming CISF group.
After the government instructed the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) to take over the task from the CRPF in the wake of last year’s December 13 security breach incident, 3,317 personnel from the CISF are being inducted to secure the old and new Parliament buildings as well as the associated structures in this complex located in central Delhi.
The CISF counterterrorism security unit will take full charge of parliament from 6 a.m. on Monday, May 20. In addition to specialists performing anti-sabotage checks and other operations at the Parliament complex, it has deployed its staff to guard all of the complex’s flap entry gates, posted canine squads, firefighting personnel along with fire tenders, and manpower at the CCTV monitoring control room and communication center aside from the pass section.
