Central Industrial Security Force was created
Explanation
The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) was established under the Central Industrial Security Force Act, 1968 (Act No. 50 of 1968), which was passed by the Parliament of India. It was formally raised on March 10, 1969. Because it was created through a specific piece of legislation, it is classified as a statutory body.
The CISF functions under the administrative control of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). Its primary mandate is to provide security to critical infrastructure, public sector undertakings (PSUs), airports, and other sensitive installations. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because the force was not created by a cabinet resolution or a simple executive order, but by a legislative act of the Parliament.
