Question map
Which of the following is not one of the mandates for deployment of CISF in the private sector?
Explanation
The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) Act was amended in 2009, following the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, to allow the deployment of CISF in the private sector on a cost-recovery basis. The primary mandate for such deployment is to provide a security umbrella against anti-national and terrorist threats. Unlike in Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs), where CISF may handle comprehensive security, its role in the private sector is specialized. It is primarily deployed as a Quick Reaction Team (QRT) to serve as the first responder in case of an attack. Official policy dictates that the CISF should not be used for routine static duties, such as manning gates or peripheral patrolling, which remain the responsibility of the private entity's own security or private agencies. Therefore, the emphasis is NOT on static posts at gates.
