As per a government study, there is a shortage of over 1,300 CISF personnel at Delhi airport alone
More than 3,300 CISF personnel will take over the complete counterterrorism and anti-sabotage security duties at the Parliament complex
The CISF is a central armed police force (CAPF) that currently guards many central government ministry buildings in Delhi apart from installations in the nuclear and aerospace domain, civil airports and the Delhi Metro.
The parliament duty group of the CRPF wound up its entire administrative and operational paraphernalia -- vehicles, weapons and commandos -- from the complex on Friday and its commander, a deputy inspector general-rank officer, handed over all the security points in the complex to the incoming CISF group, the sources said.
Around 400 Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel have been deployed at the Parliament complex following a security breach in December last year.
