Security arrangements of VVIPs

Guidelines for security arrangements of VVIPs are required to be reiterated from time to time. Recently, Ministry of Home Affairs has reiterated the guidelines/Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) issued earlier regarding security arrangements of VVIPs during road shows, to all the States and Union Territories.

These guidelines/SOPs are not new; they are reiteration of existing guidelines and do not contain any specific reference to Ministers or other dignitaries. No new restrictions have been added through these guidelines/SOPs and only the laid down protocols have been reiterated.
