CISF to Expand with Two New Battalions

 The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) is growing with the addition of two new battalions, as approved by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). This means 2,050 new jobs and an increase in the total number of CISF battalions from 13 to 15.

Here's a simplified explanation:

  • Protecting important facilities like nuclear power plants, space centers, and power plants.

  • Providing airport security (since 2000).

Key Facts:
