The CISF took over the security of the Indian Institute of Remote-Sensing (IIRS), Dehradun to protect it against any possible terror strike or threat, said Hemendra Singh, Assistant Inspector General (AIG), Public Relations Officer, CISF. The unit is headed by Assistant Commandant rank officer. With this induction, the CISF now has a total of 340 units, both in the government and non-government domain, under its security cover across the country.

The IIRS functions as a constituent unit of ISRO is the premier training and educational facility for developing trained professionals in the field of remote sensing, geo-informatics and GPS technology for natural resources, environment and disaster management.

“A contingent of 63 CISF personnel has been sanctioned to be deployed at the facility by the government. The squad took charge of the task,” said Hemendra Singh.

The CISF will provide round-the-clock armed security cover to the facility and special vehicle-borne quick-reaction teams of commandos will be stationed at vantage points in case of an attack or sabotage-like activity at the facility, he said.

The Institute campus also houses the headquarters of the Centre for Space Science and Technology Education in Asia and The Pacific, affiliated to the United Nations and first-of-its-kind established in the region in 1995.

The headquarters of the ISRS, the largest non-governmental scientific society in the country, is also located on the institute campus. “In light of increased threat perception to the Department of Space (DoS) installations situated across the country, IIRS is inherently vulnerable to threats from anti-nationals and may be a potential target therefore the CISF security cover will further strengthen the campus,” the spokesperson added. — TNS

The Union Cabinet approved on Wednesday the creation of an additional 25 senior ranks in the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) to enable increase in supervisory staff at various levels.

“The Cabinet decision will enable creation of 25 posts of various ranks ranging from assistant commandant to additional director general to increase supervisory staff in the CISF,” said an official release issued after a cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

It said that restructuring of CISF cadre will result in increase of Group ‘A’ posts from 1,252 to 1,277 due to two additional posts of additional director general, seven posts of inspector general, eight posts of deputy inspector general and eight posts of commandant.

“After the creation of these Group ‘A’ posts in the CISF, the supervisory efficiency and capacity building of the force will be enhanced,” it said.

Cabinet approves Cadre review of Group 'A' Executive Cadre of Central Industrial Security Force

The Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has approved the Cadre review of Group 'A' Executive Cadre of Central Industrial Security Force (CISF). It provides for creation of 25 posts of various ranks from Assistant Commandant to Additional Director General ranks to enhance the supervisory staff in Senior Duty posts of CISF.

The restructuring of the CISF Cadre will result in increase of Group 'A' posts from 1252 to 1277 with increase of 2 posts of Additional Director General, 7 posts of Inspector General, 8 posts of Deputy Inspector General and 8 posts of Commandant.

Impact:

After creation of these Group 'A' posts in CISF, the supervisory efficiency and capacity building of the Force would be enhanced. Timely creation of proposed posts in the Cadre Review of Group 'A' posts in the Force will enhance its supervisory as well as administrative capabilities.

Background:

The CISF came into existence through the CISF Act 1968 amended in 1983 declaring the Force as Armed Force of the Union. The original charter of CISF was to provide protection and security to the property of Public Sector Undertakings. The Act was further amended in 1989, 1999 and 2009 to enlarge the charter of duties and security cover to Private Sector Units and other duties that may be entrusted by the Central Government.

The CISF came into existence in 1969 with a sanctioned strength of only three Battalions. The CISF does not have a Battalion pattern like other CAPFs, except 12 Reserve Battalions and HQRs. Currently, the Force is providing security cover to 336 Industrial Undertaking (including 59 Airports) spread all over the country. The Force, which had made a beginning with a sanctioned strength of 3192 in 1969, has grown to a strength of 1,49,088 as on 30.06.2017. The CISF has its Headquarters at Delhi. The Organization is headed by the DG which is an Ex-cadre post.
