Cranking Up Security for Jaishankar: A Necessary Response to India-Pakistan Tensions
Center raises alert, intensifies Jaishankar's security measures with armored escort vehicles
Hey there! In response to the intense India-Pakistan conflict following Operation Sindoor, Jaishankar, India's External Affairs Minister, is getting a significant security boost. Here's the lowdown on the new protective measures in place:
- Armed Escort Cars: Two bulletproof escort vehicles have been deployed to Jaishankar's convoy, bolstering his security during public and official activities[1][4].
- Z-Category Protection: The CRPF, who currently handle Jaishankar's security, have confirmed the decision after conducting a thorough evaluation of potential threats[4]. Jaishankar already had a conviction of armed commandos protecting him during movement and stay as part of the 'Z' category security.
- Enhanced Delhi Police Protection: Additional spotters have been posted outside Jaishankar's residence and office, and an escort car has been provided, along with a new call sign to improve communication[2].
- ** heightened training:** The Union Home Ministry is reportedly conducting a comprehensive threat assessment for Jaishankar and his security personnel are undergoing specialized training for handling firing situations and medical emergencies[2].
These efforts underscore the raised security necessities due to the ongoing India-Pakistan standoff[3][4]. Don't forget, the MEA (Ministry of External Affairs) requested these enhancements following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. Stay informed, and stay safe!
