In order to protect major India Inc companies from terrorists attack, government has decided to provide CISF security cover to IT major Infosys campus in Bangalore and Reliance Industries Ltd refinery in Jamnagar in Gujarat. CISF cover could also be provided to other major IT firms like Wipro, TCS and others.
Sources say that for CISF cover for Infosys would start from Friday. Around 100 specially-trained CISF personnel would guard the Infosys campus.
It is learnt that centre may provide such kind of cover to some other major companies also. It could not be ascertained that when CISF cover would start for Jamnagar Refinery. The Centre has expanded the role of CISF from guarding government establishment to providing security to private installations in the wake of the 26/11 Mumbai attack.
Sources say that the need for security cover to vital private installations was felt following intelligence reports that Pakistan-based terrorists might try to target them by launching a surprise attack similar to the one in Mumbai last year.
