Newly implemented rules regarding the Special Protection Group (SPG) have
granted the central government the authority to define how states will
assist in the security arrangements for the Prime Minister. The SPG,
responsible for safeguarding the Prime Minister’s safety, will now work in
coordination with state police forces and local authorities based on
guidelines provided by the Centre. This move aims to streamline and
strengthen the security apparatus surrounding the Prime Minister, ensuring
effective collaboration between central and state security agencies. The
decision to specify the role of states in PM security is expected to
enhance the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the protection measures
provided to the country’s highest office.
