Union home minister Amit Shah said that private security agencies and the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) could join hands for providing effective security to various private industrial and manufacturing sector units, Economic times reported.
He said that the Government security agencies such as the CISF cannot render this task across the country and could gradually “hand over” to private security agencies.
“The work of private security agencies is rapidly increasing…we have brought out rules and regulations for their functioning. Can the CISF take the responsibility of training these private security agencies?” he asked.
The HM also asked the force to prepare a 25-year road map so that it can emerge as a “result-oriented” security agency by the time India enters the 100th year of its independence.
