CISF is providing security cover to the Embassy of India in Kathmandu. Under which one among the following provisions of the CISF Act is it being done?

Result
Your answer:  ·  Correct: B

Explanation

The Central Industrial Security Force (Amendment) Act, 2009, significantly expanded the mandate of the CISF. Specifically, Section 10(h) was inserted into the CISF Act, 1968, which empowers the force to perform "any other duty within and outside India as may be prescribed by the Central Government from time to time."

Under this provision, the Government of India recently sanctioned the deployment of a CISF contingent to provide security cover to the Embassy of India in Kathmandu, Nepal. This marks the first time the CISF has been deployed to protect an Indian diplomatic mission abroad, a task traditionally handled by other paramilitary forces or specialized units. Other sections mentioned, such as 10(c), 10(e), and 10(g), relate to the protection of industrial undertakings and providing technical consultancy services, primarily within India.
