Over 3,300 CISF personnel will now handle counterterrorism and anti-sabotage duties at the Parliament complex, replacing the CRPF. This transition follows a security breach in December 2023. The CRPF’s parliament duty group (PDG) vacated its role, transferring all responsibilities to the CISF. The CISF contingent underwent extensive training, including drills with NSG commandos, to ensure preparedness. The move aims to enhance security after recent incidents. Despite the handover, CRPF personnel reminisced about their service, underscoring their commitment to safeguarding democracy.
