Select the correct answer using the code given below :

Explanation

Statement 1 is correct: The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) is the only Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) in India that maintains a full-fledged, dedicated Fire Wing. It is currently the largest fire-fighting force in the country, providing fire protection to various sensitive installations and industrial units.

Statement 2 is incorrect: While CISF initially served only government-owned public sector undertakings, the CISF Act was amended in 1999 to allow it to provide security consultancy services to the private sector. Furthermore, following the 2009 amendment, the CISF can also provide direct security cover to private and joint venture establishments (such as Infosys campuses and various power plants) on a payment basis. Therefore, its consultancy and security services are not restricted to government establishments alone.
