CISF Adopts Functional Sector Model to Enhance Security of Strategic Assets
The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has shifted from a territorial command model to a functional sector architecture to enhance security for India's strategic and economic assets. This restructuring, approved by the Ministry of Home Affairs, groups similar units under specialized commands covering sectors like power, coal, steel, petroleum, government buildings, museums, seaports, and mass transit systems such as the Delhi Metro. Established in 1969, the CISF currently has about 270,000 personnel guarding vital installations including airports, nuclear, and aerospace sectors.
