Access to the Parliament complex - a particularly high-profile issue after last week's security breach - will now be guarded by the Central Industrial Security Force, or CISF, the government has said. In a notification issued Wednesday, the Home Ministry said the CISF will replace Delhi Police as the agency in charge, and will take over all related responsibilities, including frisking entrants. Security within the complex will continue to be the responsibility of the Lok Sabha Secretariat, while Delhi Police will continue to protect the outer perimeter. The change - seen as an attempt to streamline security protocols instead of multiple agencies' rules muddying the waters - will be enforced after a detailed security survey ordered by the Home Ministry following the security breach last week.
