Which one among the following statements about Sea Port Security is not correct?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D

Explanation

Statement D is incorrect. While there have been long-standing proposals to create a security regulator for ports similar to the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), no entity named the "National Port Regulatory Authority" is fully functional for this purpose. Recently, the government has moved toward establishing a Bureau of Port Security (BoPS) and designated the CISF as a Recognised Security Organisation (RSO), but the specific body mentioned in the option does not exist as described.

  • Statement A: Correct. All 13 major ports in India are currently secured by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF).
  • Statement B: Correct. Non-major (minor) ports are under state jurisdiction and generally lack a uniform central security agency, often relying on state police or private security.
  • Statement C: Correct. The CISF's mandate in ports is primarily restricted to access control, anti-sabotage checks, and cargo screening.
