The security of RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has been increased from Z Plus to Z Plus ASL. Now more special arrangements will be made for his security. On the other hand, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar has been given Z Plus security. The security of both Mohan Bhagwat and Sharad Pawar is Z Plus, but still there is a lot of difference between the two. In such a situation, the question is what is the difference between Z Plus ASL and Z Plus security and how is the cover provided in both.
Security is provided to some people of the country by the Government of India. Mainly, X, Y, Y Plus, Z, Z Plus security is provided by the Home Ministry. Apart from this, there is SPG security, which is given only to the Prime Minister of the country. SPG is like a separate force, which covers only the Prime Minister. After this comes Z Plus etc. security. In every security, the number of accompanying soldiers etc. is fixed and there is information related to the protocol.
Now let us understand the system of Z Plus Security…
There are many types of Z Plus security and different types of cover are provided in each category. Z Plus security includes Z Plus cover, Z Plus with NSG cover and Z Plus with ASL security.
What is ASL cover- If we talk about ASL cover, then it is the most special among Z Plus security. It is like the PM’s SPG cover and some protocols in it are like PM security. That is, just like there are rules in the security of the PM, there are rules in the security of the person with ASL cover as well. ASL means Advance Security Liaison. In this cover, not only the security person goes along, but when the person getting the security goes somewhere, his security goes there first.
What is Yellow, Blue Book… in which secrets of PM’s security are hidden
Before his security visit, the security personnel visits the place and checks the arrangements there and prepares a plan. The entry, exit and access of the people visiting the place are ascertained and a plan is prepared accordingly. The route for his travel is also prepared in a special way. Only a few people in India have this cover, including the Home Minister. The IB is also involved in this cover and security is provided in collaboration with them.
What is Z Plus NSG cover- One of the covers in Z Plus security is NSG cover. NSG cover means that NSG commandos are also included in it and provide security. In this, the responsibility of the NSG cover is to take the protected person from one place to another. NSG commandos do not provide security to them at home and also work to save them from any untoward incident.
How is the security of the Prime Minister abroad?
What is included in Z Plus Security only? If we talk only about Z Plus security, then many soldiers provide security in it. There are about 36 soldiers in it and many people get NSG cover while many people get CRPF, CISF cover. At the same time, some people also have state police personnel in their Z Plus security. After Z Plus, there are categories like Z, Y Plus, Y, X etc.
