What is the CISF?
The CISF, or Central Industrial Security Force, is India's primary security agency for airports, government buildings, and critical infrastructure. They are a paramilitary force, meaning they are organised like the military but operate under civilian control. Their presence ensures the safety of passengers and facilities, as seen with the Air India incident.
