NEW DELHI: The Centre has accorded the top category ‘Z+’ VVIP armed security cover to newly-appointed Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
The cover will be provided by a special commando team of the CISF along with a small contingent of the Uttar Pradesh police.
Adityanath was till now enjoying the smallest category of ‘Y’ category VVIP cover by the CISF in his capacity as a BJP Member of Parliament from Gorakhpur but officials said with his taking charge as CM, a threat perception report of central security agencies required his security paraphernalia to be upgraded.
“The Chief Minister’s security has been bolstered and he will now be secured by a strong team of CISF commandos everytime he moves across the country. A similar commando contingent will be deployed at his official residence,” a senior officer said. (AGENCIES)
