Updated:1 year, 10 months ago

New Delhi, August 29 (ANI): RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's security upgraded to the more robust Advanced Security Liaison (ASL) protocol. Security upgradation involves augmenting the security measures currently provided by CISF personnel. The ASL status brings Mohan Bhagwat's security level on par with that of Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The new directions were issued on Aug 16 considering a fresh threat analysis report submitted to the MHA by IB. They said that the ASL protocol was previously required only during Bhagwat's visits to certain sensitive locations. RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat is among 10 persons who have 'Z+' armed security cover by CISF personnel. Security for Bhagwat has been increased due to recent assessments highlighting vulnerabilities, especially in non-BJP states. The MHA report highlights threats from various organizations, including radical Islamist groups. This prompted the MHA to classify Bhagwat as an "ASL protectee," necessitating enhanced security measures. Under the ASL protocol, local agencies are required to collaborate to ensure the protectee's security and safety. Furthermore, helicopter travel for the protectee is restricted to specially designed aircraft and must comply with detailed protocols. The ASL protocol also mandates thorough anti-sabotage inspections and implements multi-layered security rings to ensure comprehensive protection.
