Bare Act
The Andhra Pradesh Special Security Group Act, 2023
The Andhra Pradesh Special Security Group Act, 2023, establishes a specialized, elite security force dedicated exclusively to providing "proximate security" to the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh and their immediate family members. This force operates with high-level training distinct from regular police duties, ensuring protection during travel, public functions, and at their residence. The Act defines the group's structure, command hierarchy, and the duty of other government departments to assist them. It essentially formalizes the legal framework for a dedicated protection unit, ensuring the safety of the state's highest executive office through specialized personnel and clear operational protocols.
