Explanation
The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) Act, 1968, has undergone four major amendments to expand the force's mandate and jurisdiction:
- 1983: The CISF was elevated from a 'watch and ward' force to an Armed Force of the Union.
- 1989: The amendment made it a duty of the force to protect and safeguard the employees of the undertakings where it is deployed.
- 1999: It enabled the force to provide technical consultancy services to industrial establishments, including those in the private sector.
- 2009: This amendment allowed the CISF to provide security cover to private sector undertakings and joint ventures on a cost-reimbursement basis. It also empowered the Central Government to deploy the force outside India (e.g., for Indian Embassies or UN missions).
