M K Stalin’s Security Cover Reduced to Z
Officials said his protection was cut to escort security with four police personnel while his personal security officer will continue.
- On Saturday, Tamil Nadu officials withdrew the 'Core Cell' security cover provided to former Chief Minister Stalin, which was equivalent to Z-category protection.
- The Core Cell Security Wing conducted the assessment at the Secretariat, attended by chief secretary Sai Kumar, home secretary K Manivasan, and DGP Mahesh Kumar Aggarwal as part of routine reviews held every six months.
- Personnel assigned to his protection decreased from 58 to 33; the new escort arrangement comprises four police personnel headed by a Sub-Inspector, while his Personal Security Officer continues as usual.
- Stalin will henceforth receive only escort security, ensuring his protection aligns with his status as a former Chief Minister following the official review.
- Security arrangements for VIPs and VVIPs undergo similar evaluations every six months, ensuring deployments remain proportional to threat perception and specific protection requirements.
