December 13 Breach: Government To Entrust Security Of Parliament Complex To Central Industrial Security Force

In response to the recent security breach, the government has decided to assign the comprehensive security of the Parliament building complex to the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF).

Government To Assign Security Of Parliament Complex To CISF From Delhi Police

Reportedly, CISF will now implement stringent security measures similar to airport protocols, ensuring robust security against potential threats. CISF will oversee access control to both the new and old Parliament complexes under the new security arrangements.

The security procedures will resemble airport protocols, featuring body frisking conducted with hand-held detectors and thorough scrutiny of belongings through X-ray machines.

This move marks a shift from the previous practice, where frisking of visitors to the Parliament building complex was carried out by personnel from the Delhi Police.

The development comes in the wake of the recent parliament security breach, where two people jumped from the visitors gallery of the Lok Sabha chamber and sprayed coloured smoke from canisters.
