Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann does not need the CRPF component of the Z-plus security given to him by the Union Home Ministry while he is in Punjab or Delhi. He will need the security only while he is outside these two states.
This has been conveyed by the Punjab government to the Union Home Ministry. The state government has said that he is “well protected” here and they do not want dual responsibility for the CM security. This could lead to a dual chain of command in his security arrangements, leaving scope for mistakes.
