The Center has provided ‘Y’ category armed security to senior TMC leader and Lok Sabha MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar from May 19, an official said in New Delhi on Wednesday. The Home Ministry has enhanced the security cover given to Dastidar by the CISF – a central armed police force primarily tasked with protecting critical infrastructure and providing security to high-risk individuals – following the Intelligence Bureau’s security assessment report. Under the ‘Y’ category, the protected person is generally assigned a team of armed personnel for round-the-clock protection. Sources said the decision to provide security to Dastidar, who represents Barasat constituency, was taken after reviewing her threat profile. Officials indicated that the security cover would be reviewed from time to time. agencies
