A special unit of the CRPF that was withdrawn from the security of Parliament last year has been disbanded and merged with the VIP security wing.
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) issued an order "changing the nomenclature" of about 1,400 personnel strength Parliament Duty Group (PDG) to VIP Security Group (VSG) under the CRPF.
A "VIP Security Group (VSG)" refers to a specialized unit within the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), primarily responsible for providing security to high-profile individuals (Very Important Persons) like politicians and prominent leaders.
