General Knowledge: Discussions about Z Security are currently prevalent across the nation. As preparations for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections are underway, the Chief Election Commissioner has been provided with Z Security. However, people are now questioning how this security is obtained.
How is this Security Granted?
The decision to provide security to an individual is made by the Ministry of Home Affairs of the country. This security is granted to important figures, such as the current Home Minister Amit Shah and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Additionally, prominent figures like the Chief of the RSS, Mohan Bhagwat, receive this security.
It is worth mentioning that after assessments by central security agencies
Various personalities such as actors and cricketers are also provided with different categories of security. Typically, the determination of which individual receives what level of security is made based on assessments by security agencies.
In our country, generally, five types of security categories are provided by the government: Z+, Z, Y+, Y, and X. These categories determine the level of security provided to individuals. For example, in 2020, based on a security agency report, Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut was provided with Y+ category security by the CRPF.
