The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) will be deployed at the Parliament soon, so the familiarisation training of its 140 personnel has already started, officials said on Tuesday.
As per the officials, these 140 CISF personnel are to take over the frisking of visitors and baggage at the entrance of the Parliament.
Officials said, “It is expected that the CISF may be deployed at the Parliament from the upcoming Budget Session beginning on January 31.”
With its fresh major deployment, the CISF would be the new entrant in Parliament security setup, given its proven expertise in access control, frisking, and scanning at airports across the country, Delhi Metro, and vital installations, including monuments with high footfall.
