Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B

Explanation

The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) Act, 1968, was amended by the CISF (Amendment) Act, 1999, to expand the scope of the force's duties. Section 14A was specifically inserted to empower the CISF to provide technical consultancy services.

  • Section 14A: Allows the force to provide consultancy services related to security and fire protection measures to industrial establishments in the private sector or other organizations upon payment of prescribed fees.
  • Section 14: Deals with the actual deputation or deployment of the force to private sector industrial establishments for protection and security.
  • Section 15: States that officers and members of the force are considered to be always on duty and liable to be employed anywhere in India.

This provision enables the CISF to leverage its expertise in industrial security for the benefit of the private sector, enhancing overall national economic security.
