CISF should develop hybrid security model to train, certify private security agencies: Amit Shah

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday pitched for a "hybrid" security model where the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) could train and certify private security agencies so that they can take over the task of efficiently guarding various kinds of industrial and manufacturing units in the country.

He said the CISF, raised in 1969, worked like a silent " karmayogi" to ensure the country's industrial development and secured the private manufacturing production units as India rode on to become a $2.5 trillion-strong economy.

In the country's journey from a $2.5 trillion economy to becoming a $5 trillion economy, many units in the manufacturing sector will be established and the CISF will face new scenarios, the Home Minister added.
