Extended Role to CISF: Terror Effect
The government is going to bring ordinance to use CISF with joint ventures with private players for providing security.
CISF is one of the major paramilitary force which looks after the commercial and security sensitive installations of the government. After the ordinance the private installations like the Taj Hotel etc will also be able to use to the services of this paramilitary force. Similarly, CISF will also be deputed on foreign assignments like protecting the foreign embassies of India.
All such executive changes along with legislative measures are the result of the response of the government to the terror attack. It thus form an important topic to develop for 150 words as well topics of discussion in interview especially for those who may opt for IPS as their first option. (It is better to opt for IAS every time as the first option.)
