VIP security review frees 1,300 commandos

New Delhi: Over 1,300 commandos have been freed after the Centre removed the VIP security cover of several politicians and lawmakers, officials said on Wednesday. A comprehensive security review of about 350 VIPs and dignitaries was undertaken by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) early this week, they said. More than 1,300 security personnel drawn from forces like CRPF, CISF, NSG and Delhi Police stand to be relieved after this review, the officials said. About 3,000 personnel of these Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) will still be part of the VIP security setup of the central government, an official said. PTI
