The Central Industrial Security Force was constituted

The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) is a statutory body established under the Central Industrial Security Force Act, 1968 (Act No. 50 of 1968) passed by the Indian Parliament. It was formally raised on March 10, 1969, with a strength of about 2,800 personnel. As one of the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF), it operates under the administrative control of the Ministry of Home Affairs. Its primary mandate is to provide security to critical infrastructure, including public sector undertakings (PSUs), airports, and nuclear installations. Since its creation is rooted in a specific legislative enactment rather than a mere executive order or cabinet resolution, it is a statutory organization.
