Explanation
The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), established in 1969, is a Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) primarily mandated to provide security to critical infrastructure, industrial units, and government installations. While its roles have expanded, its core function remains distinct from other CAPFs.
- Election Duty: CISF is frequently deployed for election security as part of the CAPF pool under the Ministry of Home Affairs.
- VIP Security Duty: The CISF maintains a specialized Special Security Group (SSG) for protecting designated individuals (VVIPs/VIPs).
- Disaster Management Duty: CISF has a dedicated Fire Wing and contributes battalions to the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF).
- Counter-insurgency Duty: This is the primary mandate of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). Although CISF protects industrial assets in insurgency-hit areas (like mines in LWE zones), it is normally not deployed for active counter-insurgency operations such as jungle warfare or tracking insurgents.
