AIIMS Jammu to Become First Hospital in India with CISF Armed Security Cover
The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Jammu, located near the India-Pakistan border, is set to become the first hospital in India to receive armed security from the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF). This decision follows a security assessment due to the hospital's sensitive location. The Ministry of Home Affairs has historically resisted armed deployment in hospitals since the 2008 Mumbai attacks, but a security survey and manpower evaluation are currently underway for AIIMS-Jammu. Temporary CISF deployments have occurred at other hospitals following specific directives.
