Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will soon be accorded security by Black Cat commandos of the NSG instead of those by the CISF.
The Home Ministry has decided to provide the UP Chief Minister the top category 'Z+' security cover which would include, apart from the state police personnel, the commandos of specialised anti-terror force National Security Guard.
A Home Ministry official said the decision has been taken keeping in mind the threat perception to Yogi which is very high.
Earlier it was decided to accord him Z+ security cover by a special commando team of the UP police and a contingent of the CISF. Before becoming the Chief Minister, Yogi was getting 'Y' category security cover of Central Industrial Security Force with 2-3 commandos guarding him round-the-clock.
