Explanation

The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) is a premier security agency established under the CISF Act, 1968. Its primary mandate, as outlined in Section 10 of the Act, is to provide integrated security cover to industrial undertakings and government infrastructure. The roles include:

  • Protection: Safeguarding vital installations from attacks, sabotage, or physical damage.
  • Prevention: Actively preventing the commission of crimes against the property of the undertaking.
  • Intelligence: Collecting intelligence regarding criminal activities that could impact the security or property of the installation.
