Central Government approves first women's reserve battalion, increasing CISF's power

Officials added that CISF was responsible for the security of 68 airports of the country, including Delhi Metro, Red Fort, and Taj Mahal. More women soldiers are needed there in large numbers. For that, a proposal was forwarded to the government to form a full women's reserve battalion. Other than that, the CISF extends anti-terrorism security to private sector institutions and nuclear as well as aerospace-related institutions. This involves the Bangalore and Pune offices of Infosys and the Jamnagar refinery of Reliance.

The central government had handed over the security responsibility of the country's Parliament in July this year to CISF. Prior to that, the responsibility of Parliament security was given to CRPF. CISF has deployed over 3,300 soldiers here. 29 officers have also been deployed to lead them. These officers include one Deputy Director General, one Senior Commandant, two Commandants, seven Deputy Commandants, and 18 Assistant Commandants. Two of these officers are from the fire wing.
