Centre Grants Z-Category Security Cover To Dalai Lama

The Centre has provided a Z-category armed protection cover to Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama in view of potential security threats to him, official sources said on Thursday.

The Union home ministry has directed the VIP security wing of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) to take charge of the 89-year-old leader.

The sources said the Dalai Lama would be secured by a Z-category protection cover of CRPF commandos in all parts of the country.
