Nagpur, September 06: In a major development, the central industrial security force has taken over the security cover of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh headquarters in Nagpur with effects from September 01. The Central government gave the information on Monday.
As per the information, about 150 personnel, including an officer, who arrives last evening replaced the State Reserve Police Force and Nagpur police which provided security to the Sangh headquarters for about 15 years.
The CISF team will be headed by an officer of the rank of Deputy Commissioner, said sources. The security personnel is presently accommodated in a school near the headquarters.
The Union Home Ministry had earlier decided to provide RSS HQ and organisation chief Mohan Bhagwat a 'Z plus' security due to the threat perception. Back in June 2006, three Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists were gunned down by police when they tried to enter the RSS headquarters in Nagpur.
The development has come days after the Central government abolished over 3,000 CISF posts at Indian airports and replaced them with private security guards.
The blueprint prepared by BCAS, the aviation security regulator, abolished a total of 3,049 CISF aviation security posts to be replaced by 1,924 private security personnel and a parallel introduction of smart surveillance technology like CCTV cameras and baggage scanners.
The private security personnel is being deployed at airports like in Delhi, Mumbai, and others for non-sensitive duties like queue management, security assistance to airlines staff and passengers, and manning of certain entry and exit points within the terminal area, a second official said.
