Delhi Police out; CISF takes over Parliament security

Around 400 Central Industrial Security Force personnel have been deployed in the past four months at the Parliament complex where a security breach took place in December last year, though an official order is awaited, a senior government official said. On Monday, around 150 Delhi Police personnel were withdrawn following the CISF’s deployment, the official said. The CISF is also likely to replace the Parliament Security Service that functions under the Lok Sabha Speaker and has various responsibilities such as issuance and scanning of passes of visitors and officials inside the Parliament building. An official said that fire tenders belonging to the Delhi Fire Service at the Parliament building had also been replaced with that of the CISF’s fire tenders.
